Burrito Ingredients

Zesty Cheese Sauce Ingredients

Method

Burrito Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked beef or chicken, Spanish rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Burritos

    Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave. Place a generous amount of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream on top. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.

Zesty Cheese Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

  2. 4

    Add the Cheeses

    Reduce heat to low and add the sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth. Add zesty seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Final Assembly

  1. 5

    Serve the Burritos

    Place the assembled burritos on a serving plate. Generously pour the zesty cheese sauce over the top. Serve with extra sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.
