Ingredients
Scale
Seasoned Ground Beef:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water or beef broth
Assembly:
- 1 cup cooked Mexican-style rice
- 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
- 1 cup warm nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1 cup Fiesta strips or crushed red tortilla chips
- 1 cup refried beans (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it apart. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Season Beef: Stir in taco seasoning and water, simmer for 1–2 minutes until thickened. Add refried beans if using for extra creaminess.
- Assemble Burritos: Warm tortillas, then layer rice, beef mixture, nacho cheese, shredded cheese, Fiesta strips, and sour cream. Roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Crispy Finish: Optionally, sear burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 1–2 minutes per side.
Notes
- Assemble burritos just before serving to keep Fiesta strips crunchy.
- For a lighter option, swap ground beef for turkey or plant-based crumbles.
