Description
Delicious Beef Cheese Burritos: A Flavor-Packed Mexican Favorite
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.
2. Season the Beef: Stir in the garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with the seasonings.
3. Add the Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese and cream cheese until fully melted and creamy.
4. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out a tortilla and spoon a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture onto the center. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly to form a burrito.
5. Optional Toasting: For a crispy exterior, lightly toast each burrito in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the burritos in half, if desired, and serve them warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
Beef Cheese Burritos are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of sides and beverages. For a complete Mexican-inspired feast, serve them alongside classic dishes like Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh, tangy Cowboy Caviar salad.
