Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) water or beef broth
  • 1 cup (240 g) refried beans (optional)
  • 2 cups (300 g) cooked Mexican rice (or instant Mexican rice)
  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 2 cups (300 g) Fritos corn chips (or Doritos)
  • 1 cup (240 g) cheese dip, warmed (like Tostitos)
  • 1 cup (100 g) Mexican cheese blend, shredded
  • ½ cup (120 g) sour cream
  • Salsa for serving (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, breaking apart with a spatula until no longer pink (about 7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary. Add taco seasoning and water or broth, stir to combine. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until liquid is mostly absorbed.
  2. If using, stir refried beans into the beef mixture until well combined. Adjust thickness with more water or broth if needed. Keep warm on low heat.
  3. Cook Mexican rice according to package instructions, or reheat leftovers. Microwave flour tortillas for 20-30 seconds between damp paper towels until warm and pliable.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat. On the center, place 3 tablespoons of beef mixture in a line, followed by 3 tablespoons of rice. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of Fritos/Doritos, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons cheese dip, add Mexican cheese blend, and top with a dollop of sour cream.
  5. Fold in sides, then bottom edge up over filling. Roll tightly to the top edge; place seam-side down. Repeat for remaining ingredients.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately while hot, with salsa on the side. Cut in half diagonally for easier eating.
