Preparation
  1. In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onions over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

  4. Roll up the tortillas tightly, placing them seam-side down in a baking dish.
Baking
  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Serving
