Preparation Instructions
- 1
Cook the Meat
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or chicken, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.

Prepare the Tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave to make them pliable.

Assemble the Burritos
On each tortilla, place a portion of the cooked meat, shredded cheese, and a few tablespoons of burrito sauce. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.

Melt the Cheese
Place the assembled burritos seam side down in a baking dish. Pour additional burrito sauce over the top and sprinkle with more shredded cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
