Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito (Print-Friendly Version)

Enjoy a flavorful blend of seasoned beef, melted cheese, crispy chips, and rice wrapped in a soft tortilla.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 450 grams lean ground beef
02 - 28 grams taco seasoning mix
03 - 60 millilitres water or beef broth
04 - 240 grams refried beans (optional)
05 - 320 grams cooked Mexican rice

→ Assembly

06 - 4 large flour tortillas
07 - 140 grams corn chips (such as Fritos or Doritos)
08 - 240 millilitres processed cheese dip, warmed
09 - 110 grams shredded Mexican cheese blend
10 - 120 grams sour cream
11 - Salsa, to serve (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. Stir in taco seasoning and water or beef broth, mixing well. Simmer for 1–2 minutes until most liquid evaporates and beef is evenly coated.
02 - If using refried beans, stir them into the seasoned beef mixture until blended. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or broth to achieve a spreadable consistency. Lower heat and keep warm.
03 - Cook Mexican rice according to package directions or reheat cooked rice. Warm flour tortillas by microwaving between damp paper towels for 20–30 seconds until soft and pliable.
04 - Place a warm tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon approximately 45 grams of the beef filling into a line at the centre, leaving about 5 cm border. Top with 45 grams of Mexican rice.
05 - Sprinkle a portion of corn chips over the rice. Drizzle 30–45 millilitres of warmed cheese dip, then scatter a generous pinch of shredded cheese blend and finish with a spoonful of sour cream.
06 - Fold in both sides toward the centre, then roll the bottom edge up and over the filling. Continue rolling tightly until sealed. Arrange seam-side down. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
07 - For a crisp exterior, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place burritos seam-side down and toast each side for 1–2 minutes until golden-brown.
08 - Serve burritos hot with salsa on the side. Optionally, cut each burrito in half diagonally for easier serving.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Personalise with diced tomatoes, lettuce, or jalapeños for added taste and texture.
02 - Increase spice by substituting Nacho Cheese Doritos or including hot sauce.
03 - Prepare beef and rice ahead for quick assembly during busy times.
04 - Wrap burritos in foil or parchment for convenient handling.
