Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito

Instructions:

  1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned; drain excess fat.
  2. Add the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, until the beef is well coated and slightly thickened.
  3. Warm the tortillas until soft and pliable.
  4. Assemble each burrito: spoon seasoned beef in the center and top with cheddar, onion, tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream.
  5. Add nacho cheese or tortilla strips if you want extra crunch.
  6. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  7. Toast each burrito in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and warm.

Variations

  • Add cooked rice for a heartier burrito.
  • Swap cheddar for a melty mix like Monterey Jack or Colby Jack.
  • Add sautéed peppers or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Use ground turkey for a lighter version.

Tips

  • Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds for the perfect rollable texture.
  • Don’t overfill — it makes rolling difficult and can cause tearing.
  • Press gently with a spatula while toasting for an evenly crisp finish.
  • Serve with extra sour cream or hot sauce for dipping.
