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.

SUNKEN MEAT BURRITO
Toucan Taco, an old, hole-in-the-wall family-owned and operated restaurant in Laurel, Maryland, serves some of the best and most unique Mexican food I have ever tasted. Until I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, I had gone to Toucan Taco at least once a week for a delicious Sunken Meat Burrito. But now that I am on a low sodium diet, Toucan Taco is "off limits" to me. So I embarked on a mission to clone these sunken beauties and, after numerous "close-but-no-cigar" attempts, I did it! I have isted "regular" ingredients, but it's incredibly easy to significantly reduce the sodium content by using reduced-sodium, low-sodium, or sodium-free beef stock, tomato paste, canned tomatoes, and tortillas.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Use large, sturdy tortillas that can hold all of the filling without tearing. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the burritos gives it a richer flavor and helps to prevent it from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings, such as different types of meat, vegetables, and cheeses. You can also add beans, rice, or avocado to your burritos.
- Make sure the burritos are well-sealed: Before baking, make sure the burritos are tightly sealed so that the filling doesn't leak out. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure the burritos closed.
- Bake the burritos until they are golden brown: Baking the burritos until they are golden brown ensures that they are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
Sunken meat burritos are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for a party or potluck. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your sunken meat burritos are perfect every time.
