Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the rice under cold water until clear, then cook with 1 1/3 cups of water in a small pot over medium-high heat until absorbed, about 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, cook ground beef with diced onion and jalapeños over medium heat until browned (7–10 minutes). Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in ½ cup of enchilada sauce.
Spread ¼ cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with refried beans, cheese, rice, and beef mixture; roll tightly and place seam side down in the dish.
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled burritos and sprinkle with cheese. Bake for about 15 minutes until bubbly.
