I still remember the first time I tried the Beefy Melt Burrito at Taco Bell—its comforting flavors instantly transported me back to family dinners filled with laughter and love. Now, with this homemade version, you can recreate that same warmth in your own kitchen. It’s a delightful blend of seasoned beef, creamy cheese, and crunchy chips, all wrapped in a soft tortilla

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning

  • ¼ cup water or beef broth

  • 1 cup refried beans (optional)

  • 2 cups cooked Mexican rice

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 2 cups Fritos or Doritos

  • 1 cup warmed nacho cheese sauce

  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • Salsa (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water or broth, stirring to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes.

  • Prepare the Rice: Cook Mexican rice according to package instructions or use leftover rice.

  • Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds to make them pliable.

  • Assemble the Burritos: Spread a layer of refried beans on each tortilla (if using). Add a scoop of seasoned beef, followed by rice, Fritos or Doritos, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheese,and a dollop of sour cream

  • Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. For a crispy finish, toast the burrito in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Serve with salsa if desired.

Notes

  • Customize Your Crunch: Swap Fritos with your favorite chips for a different texture.

  • Make It Healthier: Use ground turkey and low-fat cheese to reduce calories.

  • Add Some Heat: Incorporate jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.

  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare components ahead of time for quick assembly during the week.
