Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1 cup seasoned ground beef
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 tablespoon taco sauce
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring well, then allow the mixture to simmer until thickened.
Step 2: Assemble the Burrito
Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the beef filling onto the center of the tortilla. Add a layer of shredded cheese and a spoonful of sour cream.
Step 3: Fold the Tortilla
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom upwards to enclose the filling securely. Ensure the edges stay tucked in.
Step 4: Cook the Burrito
In a skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Place the burrito seam side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side until crispy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once both sides are browned and crispy, remove the burrito from the skillet. Cut in half if desired, and serve hot with extra sour cream or salsa on the side.
Notes
Note 1: Customize Your Filling
Feel free to add additional ingredients like beans, rice, or various toppings based on your preference to enhance the flavor of the burrito.
Note 2: Reheating Tips
If you have leftovers, reheat the burrito in an oven for a few minutes to maintain its crispiness rather than using the microwave.
Note 3: Vegetarian Option
For a vegetarian alternative, substitute ground beef with black beans or a meat substitute and follow the same instructions.
