🌯 Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito Recipe

Ingredients

For the seasoned beef:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 2 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1 tsp paprika

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp pepper

• 2 tbsp tomato sauce or water (to make it saucy)

For the burrito fillings:

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably seasoned Mexican rice)

• 1 cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 cup shredded three-cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella)

• ½ cup sour cream

• ½ cup warm refried beans (optional but delicious)

• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

For toppings or garnish (optional):

• Diced tomatoes

• Shredded lettuce

• Hot sauce or mild taco sauce

Instructions

1. Cook the Seasoned Beef

   • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any grease.

   • Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat.

   • Add tomato sauce or water and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.

2. Warm the Tortillas

   • Heat tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds or on a skillet for a few seconds per side until soft and pliable.

3. Assemble the Burritos

   • Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a spoonful of refried beans (if using) down the center.

   • Add a scoop of cooked rice and seasoned beef.

   • Drizzle with warm nacho cheese sauce, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of shredded cheese.

4. Roll It Up

   • Fold the sides over, then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up to seal.

5. Melt It (Optional for Extra Gooeyness)

   • Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and toast for about 1 minute per side until golden and the cheese inside starts to melt.

6. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Slice in half, drizzle with extra nacho cheese or hot sauce if you’re feeling bold, and dig in.
