Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound (454 grams) ground beef (lean)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
Cheese and Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- Shredded lettuce (optional, for garnish)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis (e.g., Rotel)
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) chopped green pepper
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) diced onion
- 1 bag nacho cheese Doritos
- 4 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring meat is thoroughly cooked and no pink remains.
- Season the beef with taco seasoning, stirring to distribute spices evenly and create a robust flavor profile.
- Crumble Doritos chips into small pieces, reserving some for topping the burrito later.
- Warm tortillas in a separate pan or microwave to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Layer cooked ground beef in the center of each tortilla, creating a hearty base for the burrito.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the warm beef, allowing it to slightly melt.
- Add a layer of crushed Doritos on top of the cheese for a crunchy texture and zesty flavor.
- Fold the tortilla sides inward, then roll tightly to encase all ingredients securely.
- Optional: Return the rolled burrito to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a crispy exterior.
- Garnish with additional crushed Doritos and cheese before serving hot.
Notes
- Opt for leaner ground beef (90/10) to reduce fat content without sacrificing flavor.
- Crush Doritos slightly before adding to the burrito for a more even crunch and better texture distribution.
- Consider using a non-stick skillet to minimize oil usage and make cleanup easier.
- Experiment with different Dorito flavors like Nacho Cheese or Cool Ranch to create unique taste variations.
