Description
A homemade version of the popular Taco Bell burrito that’s cheesy, hearty, and customizable, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 lb seasoned ground beef
- 2 cups cooked warm rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (Greek yogurt works in a pinch)
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo or salsa
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded (optional)
- 1/2 cup black beans (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the beef. Set a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Season it well. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly so the spices coat the meat evenly.
- Warm the tortillas. Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for about 10–15 seconds per side or microwave them under a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds.
- Build the burritos. Lay a tortilla flat. Add a portion of warm rice, then seasoned beef, followed by shredded cheese. Spoon on sour cream and pico de gallo.
- Roll tightly. Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom up, keeping it snug.
- Serve warm. Optional: Toast seam-side down in a dry skillet for 30–60 seconds to seal and crisp.
Notes
Assemble burritos ahead of time but add lettuce and salsa right before eating to prevent sogginess.
