Steps

1. 1

   Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion; cook until beef is browned and onion is softened. Drain excess fat.

2. 2

   Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid has mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in refried beans and diced green chiles. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring, until heated through and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Warm tortillas according to package instructions (e.g., microwave for 15-20 seconds per tortilla).

5. 5

   Lay a warm tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef and bean mixture onto the center. Sprinkle with a generous amount of shredded cheese.

6. 6

   Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

7. 7

   Serve immediately or place on a baking sheet, sprinkle with more cheese, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
