Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir ground beef, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 8 minutes; drain excess grease. Mix in half the can of diced tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, paprika, oregano, 3/4 teaspoon of cumin, and black pepper. Bring meat mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Heat refried beans and 1/4 teaspoon cumin in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Keep beans warm. Mix remaining half of diced tomatoes, beef gravy, and enchilada sauce in a separate saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Place tortillas onto a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel; microwave tortillas until they are soft and warm, about 30 seconds. Place a warmed tortilla onto a work surface and spoon 1/4 the beef mixture in a line down the center of the tortilla. Layer 1/4 the bean mixture on top of beef layer and spread 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese over the bean layer. Fold right and left edges of the tortilla over the ends of the filling and roll up tortilla to make a burrito. Place burrito seam side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas to make 4 burritos.
- Pour gravy sauce over the burritos in the baking dish; top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Bake burritos in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted, 15 to 20 minutes. To serve, place each burrito on a serving plate and spoon sauce from baking dish over the burritos. Top each burrito with 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon chopped onion and chopped tomato, and 1/4 cup of chopped lettuce.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ground beef: Opt for a leaner ground beef with a fat content of 80/20 or 90/10 for a healthier option.
- Use ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Fresh, in-season tomatoes will deliver the best flavor to your burritos.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the ground beef, avoid overcrowding the pan as this will prevent it from browning properly.
- Season the beef well: Use a generous amount of your favorite seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder, to give the beef a flavorful kick.
- Simmer the sauce: Allowing the sauce to simmer for a while helps to develop and intensify its flavors.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't limit yourself to just beef and beans; feel free to add other fillings like shredded chicken, roasted vegetables, or rice.
- Warm the tortillas: Before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them more pliable and prevent them from cracking.
- Load up the burritos: Don't be shy with the fillings; pack your burritos full of beef, beans, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Wet beef burritos pair well with a variety of sides, such as guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or Mexican rice.
