Instructions
Creating a Beefy Melt Burrito is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Season the Beef: Drain excess fat, then add the taco seasoning according to the packet instructions. Stir in a bit of water if needed and let simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Warm the Tortillas: In a separate pan, lightly warm the flour tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
4. Add Cheese: After the beef is cooked, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and allow it to melt, stirring occasionally.
5. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
6. Add Toppings: Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with salsa for extra flavor.
7. Fold and Roll: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it from the bottom up to form a burrito.
8. Repeat: Continue this process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
9. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Beefy Melt Burritos while they’re warm. Optionally, serve with extra salsa or guacamole on the side.
These steps ensure you create a delicious burrito that is bursting with flavors and textures.
