• Quick and Easy: Perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Loaded Beef Burrito

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula.
2. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. While the beef is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
5. To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat, then spoon a generous portion of the seasoned beef into the center.
6. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.
7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.
8. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve immediately, garnished with extra sour cream or salsa if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a spicier kick, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
• Ensure your tortillas are warm to avoid tearing when rolling them.
• Don’t overload the burritos to make wrapping easier.

Easy Variations

• Swap out ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add black beans or corn for extra texture and flavor.
• Use different types of cheese, like pepper jack or Monterey Jack, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• A side of tortilla chips with salsa or guacamole.
• Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice for a delicious pairing.
• A fresh side salad for a crunchy contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or microwave on medium power until heated through.
