This copycat recipe brings the flavors of Taco Bell’s Beefy Melt Burrito to your kitchen, combining seasoned beef, nacho cheese, and crunchy tortilla strips for a delicious homemade meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup tortilla strips
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional: diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, or jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess grease once browned.
  2. Mix taco seasoning and water into the cooked beef. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes until the beef is coated and flavorful.
  3. Prepare the rice by adding lime juice and a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
  4. Warm the nacho cheese sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Heat the tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20 seconds or on a stovetop griddle until soft and pliable.
  6. Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat, spread nacho cheese in the center, add seasoned beef, rice, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and tortilla strips.
  7. Fold the burrito by folding in the sides and rolling tightly from the bottom up.
  8. Toast the burritos lightly in a skillet for a crunchy exterior if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

[‘Don’t overfill the burritos to make rolling easier.’, ‘Wrap stiff tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20 seconds to soften.’, ‘Let the taco-seasoned beef simmer long enough to absorb the spices fully.’, ‘Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and texture.’, ‘Toast the burritos lightly in a skillet for extra crunch.’]
