Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

Add 80/20 ground chuck to the skillet and let it brown, releasing its fat.

Remove excess fat from the skillet, leaving some for flavor.

Add all-around seasoning to the meat.

Add chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until slightly translucent.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.

Add yellow bell pepper and cilantro to the mixture, along with salt.

Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet; let it cook for 8 minutes.

Turn off the heat and prepare to assemble the burritos.

Spread refried beans on a flour tortilla, leaving a border.

Add a little grated Monterey Jack cheese on top of the beans.

Layer the meat mixture over the beans and cheese.

Add some Mexican rice and more cheese on top.

Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.

Preheat an electric griddle to 375°F and add butter.

Place the burritos seam-side down on the griddle and toast until golden brown, moving them around to ensure even toasting.

Flip the burritos to toast the other side until golden brown.

Remove the burritos from the griddle and serve with sour cream, hot salsa, and guacamole.
