  • Now it's time to add some delicious flavors to the beef. Sprinkle in your favorite spices, such as cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the amount of seasoning according to your taste preferences.
  • To enhance the texture and taste of the filling, mix in a can of your favorite refried beans, a generous amount of salsa, and a dollop of sour cream. Combine everything well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

  • Take a tortilla and place a generous scoop of the beef filling in the center. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from one end to the other, forming a burrito shape. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas and filling.

  • For an extra delicious touch, toast the burritos in a preheated skillet or oven. This will give them a slightly crispy exterior. Cook each burrito for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden and heated through.

Notes

Here are some tips to ensure that your beef burritos turn out absolutely delicious:
  • Choose large tortillas that can hold a generous amount of filling without tearing.
  • Keep the tortillas warm before filling them to make them more pliable and easier to work with.
  • Consider grating your own cheese for better flavor and texture.
  • Get creative with the fillings and add your favorite ingredients to make the burritos your own.
  • Make sure to drain excess grease from the beef after browning to avoid a greasy filling.
  • Avoid overstuffing the burritos as this can make them difficult to roll and messy to eat.
