Ingredients
Protein
- 1 lb Ground Beef
Seasoning
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
Tortillas
- 4 Flour Tortillas
Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- 1/2 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce
Condiments
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat for a leaner filling.
- Add Taco Seasoning
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef, then add a splash of water. Stir and let it simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to wrap.
- Assemble the Burritos
Layer the seasoned beef, shredded cheese, and nacho cheese sauce on each tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream if desired, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
- Cook the Burritos
Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. This adds a lovely texture to the outside.
Notes
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling quantity balanced to avoid messy burritos.
- Seal the Edges: Pinch the sides tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out while cooking.
- Experiment with Sauces: Try different sauces for a unique twist on the classic flavor.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh toppings enhance the flavor and texture of your burrito.
- Adjust Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the tortillas while achieving a crispy finish.
