Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of olive oil or cooking spray. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave about 15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spoon beef mixture into the center, top with shredded cheeses and toppings. Fold sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
- Place the assembled burritos on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes until cheese melts. Alternatively, microwave for 30-60 seconds.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality tortillas for best texture.
- Customize toppings like guacamole, sour cream, or jalapeños to suit your taste.
- Wrap in foil to keep warm before serving.
- For a crispy exterior, pan-fry in a skillet with a little butter or oil until golden brown.
