Preparing Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito
This recipe is straightforward yet bursting with flavor. You’ll start with browning the ground beef, a classic technique that enhances the meat’s richness. While the beef sizzles, you’ll mix in vibrant taco seasoning and a splash of water or beef broth, followed by a quick simmer. If you choose to add refried beans, they bring a creamy texture that elevates the burrito even further. All you have to do then is fill warm tortillas with the goodness, roll them up, and you’re ready to feast!
What you’ll need
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water or beef broth
- 1 cup refried beans (optional)
- Tortillas (for wrapping)
Feel free to swap ground beef with turkey or even a plant-based option for a lighter or vegetarian version.
