Beefy Melt Burrito (Printable Version)

Dig into seasoned beef, gooey cheese, rice, and chips all folded up in a pillowy tortilla.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 320 grams cooked Mexican rice
02 - 240 grams refried beans if you want
03 - 60 millilitres water or a bit of beef broth
04 - 28 grams taco seasoning packet
05 - 450 grams lean ground beef

→ Assembly

06 - Salsa to dip or spoon on top if you like
07 - 120 grams sour cream
08 - 110 grams shredded Mexican cheese mix
09 - 240 millilitres warm processed cheese sauce
10 - 140 grams crispy corn chips like Doritos or Fritos
11 - 4 big flour tortillas

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Grab a warm burrito, enjoy it while it's hot, and throw on salsa if you want. If it's easier, slice each one on the angle and serve.
02 - For a crispy bite, set a skillet over medium heat. Pop the burritos in seam-side down and let them brown on both sides for a few minutes until they’re golden.
03 - Tuck both sides in, roll the bottom up over the fillings, then keep rolling until everything’s snug. Put it down seam-side first. Keep going until they’re all wrapped up.
04 - Toss some corn chips on that pile of rice, pour over a big spoonful of cheese dip, sprinkle a little shredded cheese, then top it off with some sour cream.
05 - Start by placing a warm tortilla on your counter. Pile about 45 grams of the beef filling in the center, leaving a little space all around. Add about 45 grams of rice right on top.
06 - Make your Mexican rice using the directions, or just heat it if it's already cooked. For tortillas, wrap up in damp towels and microwave about half a minute until they're soft.
07 - If you're throwing in refried beans, mix them into the beef until everything's blended. Too thick? Add a splash of liquid so it's easy to spread. Lower the heat so it stays warm.
08 - Start by tossing your ground beef into a big skillet over medium-high heat. Chop it up as it cooks so there aren't big pieces, and cook until it's totally brown—about 7 minutes. If there’s too much grease, drain it off. Add your taco seasoning and water or broth, stir it all together, then let it simmer just a minute until most of that liquid's gone and the beef looks coated.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Toss on jalapeños, lettuce or chopped tomatoes to change up the flavor and texture.
02 - Want it spicier? Swap in Nacho Cheese Doritos or shake in some hot sauce.
03 - Make your beef and rice ahead to throw this together fast when things get hectic.
04 - Wrap them up in foil or baking paper to make eating way cleaner.
