Description
These Easy Homemade Beefy Melt Burritos are packed with seasoned beef, melted cheese, and creamy sour cream wrapped in a golden, toasty tortilla. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep, they’re better than any fast food version — and incredibly easy to make at home!
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade mix)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
1/3 cup sour cream
4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 7–9 minutes.
2. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until well combined.
3. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds or on a dry skillet until pliable.
4. Lay each tortilla flat. Add cooked beef, shredded cheddar, nacho cheese, and sour cream to the center.
5. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Seal edges firmly.
6. Toast each burrito in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
7. Serve immediately or wrap and store for later!
Notes
Warm your tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing and create a smooth, even roll.
Don’t overfill! A balanced amount of filling makes for easier wrapping and better structure.
Toasting the burrito adds texture and seals in all the flavors — don’t skip this step!
