Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Add the beef and onion to a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Cook, breaking the beef apart with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink. Add in the taco seasoning and cook for another minute. Stir in the cilantro.
1 pound lean ground beef, ½ yellow onion, 1 ounce taco seasoning, 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
Place a tortilla on your work surface. Spread on some refried beans and top with rice, beef mixture, cheese, and salsa. Wrap tightly and place on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining burritos.
6 burrito-sized flour tortillas, 16 ounces refried beans, 1½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, 2 cups cooked rice, 1 cup salsa
Bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the burrito is slightly crispy. Serve with your favorite condiments.
Sour cream, Hot sauce, Guacamole

To melt the cheese without crisping up the tortilla, wrap the burritos in foil before baking.
Depending on how full you stuff your burritos, you may need 8 tortillas.

Storage: Store beef burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
