Ingredients
Scale

- 1 lb Ground Beef
Dairy
- 1 cup Shredded Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
Tortillas
- 4 Burrito Size Tortillas
Beans (Optional)
- 1 cup Beans
Condiments
- Hot Sauce to taste
Vegetables
- 1/2 Onion, diced
Seasoning
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 1/4 cup Water
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat and return it to the skillet.
- Add Seasoning: Mix in your preferred taco seasoning, along with a splash of water. Stir until the seasoning is evenly distributed, then let it simmer for a few minutes for the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave until pliable. This will make wrapping the burritos much easier.
- Assemble the Burrito: On each tortilla, layer a generous amount of the beef mixture, followed by beans, shredded cheese, and any additional toppings like onions or hot sauce.
- Roll and Secure: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up. Ensure all fillings are secure inside.
- Optional Grilling: If desired, grill the burritos on a skillet for a minute or two on each side for a crispy finish.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce and quality meats elevate the overall flavor of the burrito.
- Don’t Overfill: Be cautious with the amount of filling to ensure easy rolling and no spills.
- Let It Rest: Allow the burrito to rest for a minute before cutting to let the flavors settle.
- Experiment with Sauces: Try different types of sauces for varied flavor profiles.
- Keep it Warm: Wrap burritos in foil to keep them warm until ready to serve.
