Method
 

Cooking the Beef
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat.
  2. Add the taco seasoning to the beef, following the instructions on the packet. Stir in water as directed and let simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Preparing the Tortillas

Assembling the Burrito
  1. Lay a tortilla flat and spoon the seasoned beef mixture down the center. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top.
  2. Customize your burrito with your choice of toppings—shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, jalapeños, or avocado.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with additional toppings like black beans or corn. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute or on a skillet to crisp up the tortilla.
