Taco Bell Meat-Loaded Burrito
A delicious, meat-loaded burrito bursting with seasoned ground beef, creamy refried beans, and crunchy Fritos, all wrapped in a fluffy tortilla, inspired by Taco Bell.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can refried beans Warmed over low heat
- 1 cup Mexican rice (cooked)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup Fritos corn chips Added just before rolling the burrito to maintain crunch
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Sour cream (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
- Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and follow the package instructions for preparation, usually adding a bit of water and simmering for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate saucepan, warm up the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until heated through.
Assembly
- On each tortilla, spread a layer of refried beans (about 2 tablespoons).
- Top with a scoop of the seasoned beef, a generous amount of Mexican rice, a handful of Fritos, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Carefully roll the tortillas starting from one side, folding in the edges to keep the filling contained.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the burritos rest.
- Once preheated, bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Serving
- Serve warm, garnished with sour cream and salsa if desired.
