Beefy Melt Burrito (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked Mexican-style rice

02 - 1 pound ground beef, lean

03 - 1 ounce taco seasoning mix (1 packet)

04 - 1/4 cup beef broth or water

05 - Optional: 1 cup refried beans

→ To Put Together

06 - 4 large flour tortillas

07 - 1 cup warmed nacho cheese sauce

08 - 2 cups crushed Fritos or Doritos

09 - 1/2 cup sour cream

10 - 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese mix

# Instructions:

01 - Cook the beef in a skillet until browned, then stir in seasoning and broth. Let it simmer briefly for about a minute or so. If you're using refried beans, mix them in now.

02 - Follow the directions on your rice package to cook it. Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and warm them in the microwave for about 20 seconds.

03 - Take each tortilla and pile on the beef mixture, some rice, Fritos, warmed cheese sauce, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Fold the sides in and roll it up snugly.

04 - For a crispy finish, toast each burrito in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once, and cook until it's golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.

# Notes:

01 - Turn up the spice with jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

02 - Swap out beef for beans to make it vegetarian.

03 - These freeze well for up to two months.
