  • 1 cooking spoon
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 tortilla warmer or aluminum foil
  • 4 serving bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup fresh salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and about ¼ cup of water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  • Warm the flour tortillas in a tortilla warmer or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in a preheated oven for 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the burritos by placing a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with remaining cheese, fresh salsa, and a dollop of sour cream.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll them tightly to form burritos.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

Feel free to customize your burrito with additional toppings like jalapeños, guacamole, or diced tomatoes.
Leftover beef mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated for quick meals.
To make it a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with black beans or lentils.
