Ingredients
→ Main Components
- 01 450 g lean ground beef
- 02 1 packet (28 g) taco seasoning
- 03 60 ml water or beef broth
- 04 240 g refried beans
- 05 340 g cooked Mexican rice
- 06 4 large flour tortillas
- 07 100 g Fritos or Doritos corn chips
→ Toppings
- 08 240 ml cheese dip, warmed
- 09 110 g shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 10 120 ml sour cream
- 11 Salsa, to serve
Instructions
Step 01
Brown the lean ground beef in a sauté pan over medium heat, breaking apart the meat into small pieces until fully cooked and no longer pink. Add the taco seasoning and water or broth, stirring to combine. Cook for 1 minute, then fold in the refried beans. Adjust consistency with additional water if the mixture is too thick.
Step 02
Cook the Mexican rice if not already prepared, or reheat pre-cooked rice until warmed through. Heat the flour tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds until pliable.
Step 03
Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a work surface. Spoon several tablespoons of the beef and bean mixture into the center, followed by several tablespoons of rice. Top with corn chips, a generous spoonful of warmed cheese dip, shredded Mexican cheese blend, and a spoonful of sour cream.
Step 04
Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center and roll tightly from one end to enclose the filling. Repeat with each tortilla and remaining filling.
Step 05
For a crisp outer texture, place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a dry pan over medium heat and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 06
Serve the burritos immediately with salsa on the side, if desired.
Notes
- For best texture, assemble burritos just before serving so the chips remain crisp.
- To store, wrap burritos individually in plastic wrap and foil. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months, omitting chips if freezing to maintain texture.
- Reheat chilled burritos in the microwave, oven, or stovetop until heated throughout.
- Toast assembled burritos in a dry pan for extra flavor and a crisp exterior.
- Prepare extra Mexican rice or refried beans in advance and freeze to save time on future preparations.
