Calories: 640kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Cook the beef and onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and onions are tender.
- Season: Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Drain any excess grease, if necessary, to avoid soggy burritos.
- Melt the cheese: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the beef mixture and stir continuously until the cheese has fully melted and is evenly combined with the meat.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard until smooth and creamy.
- Prep the tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas slightly, either in a microwave for about 15 seconds or on a dry skillet, so they become soft and easier to fold.
- Assemble: Spoon an even amount of the beef and cheddar mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños (if using), and shredded lettuce.
- Add sauce and fold: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the toppings. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form the burrito.
- Serve: Slice each burrito in half and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
Don’t overcook the beef: Aim for just browned meat with tender onions to keep things juicy.
Warm tortillas help with folding and prevent cracking.
Optional: Add avocado or sour cream for extra creaminess.
