1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp salt
⅛ tsp pepper
1 can (4.5 oz) diced green chilies
1 can (18 oz) refried beans
1 can (15 oz) chili without beans
For the Sauce:
1 can (10.75 oz) Campbell’s tomato soup
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
For Assembly:

Cooking the Beef Filling
To begin, prepare the beef filling that will serve as the heart of your burrito.
Brown the Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and fully cooked. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Make sure to break up the meat with a spatula as it cooks to ensure it cooks evenly.
Sauté the Onion and Garlic:
Add the chopped onion to the pan with the beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its fragrance.
Season the Meat:
Once the onions are cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet. Season the beef with cumin, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Add the diced green chilies and refried beans to the pan. Stir everything together until the beans are well incorporated and the mixture is fully combined. Allow the filling to cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Keep the beef filling warm.
Preparing the Sauce
While the beef mixture is cooking, prepare the savory enchilada sauce to drizzle over the burritos.
