The Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito is a deliciously hearty meal that combines ground beef, shredded cheese, and flavorful sauces, making it a perfect choice for busy weeknights or a fun weekend treat.


Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Prepare the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave until pliable. This will make wrapping the burritos much easier.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
