Description
A loaded, cheesy burrito packed with seasoned beef, rice, crunchy Fritos, and warm nacho cheese—just like your fast-food favorite, made at home.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1 oz taco seasoning
¼ cup water or beef broth
1 cup refried beans (optional)
2 cups cooked Mexican rice
4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
2 cups Fritos (or crunchy corn chips)
1 cup nacho cheese dip (warm)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream
Salsa (optional)
Instructions
In a skillet, cook ground beef until browned. Stir in taco seasoning and water.
Mix in refried beans and stir until creamy. Add more water if needed for consistency.
While beef mixture simmers, prepare or heat Mexican rice.
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble each burrito: layer meat-bean mixture, rice, Fritos, nacho cheese, shredded cheese, and sour cream in the center of the tortilla.
Roll tightly by folding in sides and rolling from the bottom up.
Optional: Toast burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet to crisp the exterior.
Notes
Swap Fritos for Doritos or tortilla strips for a twist.
Use ground turkey or shredded chicken to lighten it up.
Omit beans or rice for a simpler version.
Avoid adding chips if freezing to prevent sogginess.
Crisp finished burritos in a skillet for texture.
