Cheesy Beef Burrito Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend: 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder)
- ½ cup water or beef broth
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese mix)
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional, for more filling)
- 1 can refried beans (or black beans, drained and rinsed)
- ½ cup salsa
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, jalapeños
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked through. - Season the Beef:
Once the beef is browned, drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning and water (or beef broth). Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and is well combined. - Assemble the Burritos:
Lay out each tortilla and spread a layer of refried beans down the center. Add a spoonful of the beef mixture, followed by a scoop of cooked rice (if using). Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese and add some salsa. - Wrap the Burrito:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the filling as you go. Make sure it’s wrapped tightly. - Heat and Melt:
Heat a clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy, and the cheese inside melts. - Serve:
Serve the cheesy beef burritos with your favorite toppings like sour cream, guacamole, and chopped veggies.
Enjoy your Cheesy Beef Burrito Bliss!
