Description
A cozy and flavorful burrito filled with seasoned beef, melty cheese, and fresh toppings, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb halal ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning or 2 tbsp homemade taco mix
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
- 1 cup refried beans (warmed)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup pico de gallo or diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or butter for toasting
- Lime wedges and cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, and cook until browned.
- Add taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 1/4 cup). Simmer until thickened and well-coated.
- Heat refried beans and rice separately in small pots or the microwave until hot.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon down the center: 1/4 cup rice (if using), 2 tablespoons warmed refried beans, 1/4 cup seasoned beef, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Add pico de gallo, onions, and a few jalapeño slices if you like heat.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly.
- In a clean skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil or butter over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and toast 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melty.
- Slice in half, top with shredded lettuce, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
Notes
Don’t overfill the burrito to prevent tears during rolling. Keep burritos wrapped in a warm towel until ready to serve.
