Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Mixture:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water (or beef broth)
  • 1 cup refried beans (optional)

For Assembling:

  • 2 cups cooked Mexican rice (or instant Mexican rice)

  • 2 cups Fritos or Doritos
  • 1 cup cheese dip (warmed, like Tostitos)
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salsa (if desired)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef Mixture: In a sauté pan, cook ground beef until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning and water, stir and cook for another minute. Stir in the refried beans.
  2. Prepare the Rice: Cook instant Mexican rice or warm leftover rice. Heat tortillas in the microwave.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Layer tortillas with meat mixture, rice, Fritos, cheese dip, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Roll into burritos.
  4. Serve: Optionally toast/crisp burritos in a pan on medium heat. Serve with salsa.
