Description

This homemade version of Taco Bell’s Beefy Melt Burrito is packed with seasoned beef, creamy nacho cheese, fluffy rice, and crunchy tortilla strips—all wrapped in a warm tortilla for the ultimate comfort food fix.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup fiesta tortilla strips
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • Optional: jalapeños, black beans, diced tomatoes


Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer until thickened and fragrant.
  3. Meanwhile, warm the nacho cheese sauce and tortillas.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat. Add a layer of rice, then beef, drizzle nacho cheese, sprinkle shredded cheese, add sour cream and tortilla strips.
  5. Fold the burrito tightly: sides in first, then roll from the bottom up.
  6. Toast seam-side down in a skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Use fresh or freshly heated tortillas to prevent tearing.
  • To keep sour cream cool, add it after placing hot ingredients.
  • Toast the burrito for added texture and to help it stay wrapped.
