1

Start by adding 1 pound of ground beef to a skillet over medium heat.

2

Add chopped onions to the ground beef so they can cook together.

3

Season with 2 tablespoons of garlic salt, 2 tablespoons of chili powder, and 2 tablespoons of cumin.

4

Brown the meat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5

Incorporate the refried beans into the browned meat mixture and stir well.

6

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a separate pan.

7

Add 1/4 cup of flour to the melted butter and cook for about a minute to remove the raw flour taste.

8

Gradually add 2 cups of chicken broth to the flour mixture, stirring to avoid lumps.

9

Once the mixture is smooth and bubbling, remove it from heat.

10

Stir in 1 cup of sour cream and 1 can of green chiles into the sauce until well combined.

11

To build the burrito, place some cheddar cheese on a flour tortilla.

12

Add the meat and bean mixture on top of the cheese.

13

Roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito.

14

Place the burrito seam-side down on a plate and drizzle with the green chile sauce.

15

Top with additional cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes as desired.
