how to make Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito
Ingredients:
- 450g ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
Directions:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain the excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning to the beef. Follow the package instructions to add water, and let it simmer until thickened.
- Warm the nacho cheese sauce according to the package instructions or make your own homemade cheese sauce if you prefer.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer the seasoned beef, shredded cheddar cheese, and warmed nacho cheese sauce. Add sour cream, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños if you like.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it tightly from the bottom to enclose all the filling.
- For grilled burritos, place them seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese melts. For baked burritos, preheat the oven to 175°C, place the burritos on a baking tray, and bake for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- Slice each burrito in half and serve with extra nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, or your favorite salsa.
