→ Toppings
08 -
Salsa on the side
09 -
120 ml tangy sour cream
10 -
110 g shredded blend of Mexican cheeses
11 -
240 ml melted cheese dip
# Instructions:
01 -
Dish up the burritos right away. Go ahead and add a scoop of salsa if you like.
02 -
If you want a crunchy outside, pop your rolled burritos into a dry skillet. Let 'em sizzle for a couple minutes until both sides are golden and crispy.
03 -
Pull the tortilla sides in, then roll everything up tight like a giant cigar. Do this for all your burritos with the rest of the goodies.
04 -
Spread out a warm tortilla on your table. Pile on beef with beans first, then some rice, followed by a handful of crunchy chips. Drizzle on cheese dip, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and finish with a dollop of sour cream.
05 -
If your rice's pre-cooked, just warm it up. Pop your tortillas in the microwave for half a minute to make them soft and easy to roll.
06 -
Cook the beef over medium heat in a frying pan. Break up the meat and wait till it's fully browned. Next, sprinkle in the taco seasoning and splash in the water or broth. Mix well and let it cook a bit longer. Add the refried beans, stir again, and if it's looking thick, pour in a bit more water.
# Notes:
01 -
You want the chips to stay crunchy, so put burritos together right before you eat.
02 -
If you're freezing, skip the chips! Wrap burritos in foil and plastic, then pop them in the fridge for up to 5 days or the freezer for three months.
03 -
Warm cold burritos in the microwave, oven, or a skillet—just make sure they're hot all the way through.
04 -
To get crispier burritos, toast 'em in a dry skillet for extra crunch.
05 -
Make some extra rice or beans ahead and stash them in the freezer. It saves you time next time.
