Burrito Filling

Toppings

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or chicken. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Seasoning

    Add the taco seasoning to the cooked meat along with 1/4 cup of water. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Assemble the Burritos

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds, until pliable.

  2. 4

    Fill Tortillas

    Spoon a portion of the seasoned meat mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.

  3. 5

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.

Serve with Sides

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sides

    Serve the burritos alongside cooked rice and beans in separate bowls.

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    Serve the burritos warm and enjoy with additional toppings if desired.
