Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).

  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease.

  3. Stir in the refried beans with the cooked ground beef. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Softening the flour tortillas: Place a stack of tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 20-25 seconds until they are soft and pliable.

  5. Assemble the Taco Ritos: Take a softened tortilla and spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the ground beef and bean mixture onto the center. Add a teaspoon of diced onion, a sprinkle of diced tomato, and shredded lettuce.

  6. Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides as you go, to form a burrito shape. Repeat this process until you have filled approximately 8 tortillas.

  7. Arrange the rolled tortillas in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish, placing them seam-side down to prevent unraveling.

  8. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with the green chile enchilada sauce. Stir until well blended.

  9. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the rolled tortillas in the pan, ensuring each one is generously coated.

  10. Top the Taco Ritos with a generous sprinkle of shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese, covering them completely.

  11. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the tortillas are heated through.

  12. Remove from the oven and allow the Taco Ritos to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and makes them easier to handle.

  13. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole, if desired.
