Homemade Smothered Burritos

We love Taco Bell, and a couple weeks ago my husband had a smothered burrito from there. I saw how he enjoyed it that it made me want to make it for him.
Yes, it took several weeks but I made it and he enjoyed it a lot.

Here it is!!! My work of art and here is the recipe.

1 pound lean ground beef (I used shredded pork loin)
 1 cup chopped onion
 2 large garlic cloves, minced
 2 teaspoons chili powder
 1 teaspoon ground cumin
 1/2 cup taco sauce
 1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried black beans
 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas
 3/4 cup Daisy Brand Sour Cream (optional)
 1 1/2 cups finely shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 can enchilada sauce
½ cup cheese

Directions:

Cook the ground beef in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Add the onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and taco sauce to the meat and stir. Cook for 5 minutes or until thoroughly heated and the vegetables are tender, stirring frequently.
Spread 1/3 cup of refried beans on the bottom 1/3 of each tortilla, leaving 1-inch around bottom and edges. Spoon 1/3 cup of the meat mixture over beans. Top the meat with 1 tablespoon of sour cream and 1/4 cup of cheese. Start rolling up from bottom, enfolding the filling. Fold in the sides and continue rolling up.
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray all sides of the burritos with cooking spray. Place burritos on a cookie sheet, seam sides down. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until thoroughly heated and browned, turning over once.
After they are done pour enchilada sauce on them and cheese (as much as you want) and put it again in the oven for about 5-7 minutes. Top with dollops of the remaining sour cream.

Note: I didn't use the chili powder and cumin because the taco seasoning was enough for me. 

Enjoy it!!!! Believe me, it was awesome I even have one left over for lunch today.
