Cheesy Beefy Burrito Delight is a hearty meal that's perfect for any occasion. These burritos are loaded with seasoned ground beef, cooked rice, and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. The beef is cooked with onion and garlic, then simmered with taco seasoning for a burst of flavor.
INGREDIENTS- Ground beef: 1 lb
- Chopped onion: 1/2 cup
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Taco seasoning: 1 packet (1 oz)
- Water: 1/2 cup
- Cooked rice: 1 cup
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 cup
- Flour tortillas: 4 large
- Salsa: 1 cup
- Sour cream: 1/2 cup (for serving)
- Chopped fresh cilantro: 1/4 cup (optional, for garnish)
- Step 1:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until onion is soft.
- Step 2:
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, until thickened.
- Step 3:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay tortillas flat and divide cooked rice and beef mixture evenly among them. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Step 4:
- Roll up each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour salsa over the top and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired.
- Step 5:
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 6:
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.
- For an extra kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven for a quick meal later.
- Customize your burritos with your favorite toppings like avocado, pico de gallo, or black beans.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, use pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella.
- For a crispy finish, broil the burritos for the last 2 minutes of baking.
Tips from Well-Known Chefs
- Chef Rick Bayless suggests warming the tortillas before assembling the burritos to make them more pliable and easier to roll.
