How to Make Beef Burritos Supreme
Making Beef Burritos Supreme is quick and easy. Here’s how you can prepare this delicious dish step by step:
1. Cook the Ground Beef
In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
2. Season the Beef
Stir in the taco seasoning mix, water, and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Add the cooked black beans and stir to combine. Let the filling cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
3. Prepare the Tortillas
While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side until they are warm and slightly puffed up. Alternatively, you can microwave the tortillas in a damp paper towel for about 20-30 seconds.
4. Assemble the Burritos
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the beef and bean mixture into the center of the tortilla. Top with a handful of shredded cheese, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced green onions. Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa, and if you like, some guacamole for extra flavor.
5. Wrap the Burritos
Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and then roll the burrito up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go. Make sure the burrito is wrapped tightly so that it holds together.
6. Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Beef Burritos Supreme immediately while they’re warm. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired and add extra salsa or sour cream on the side. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors and textures in each bite!
Tips for Perfect Beef Burritos Supreme
- Make It Spicy: If you like a little heat, add sliced jalapeños, spicy salsa, or a dash of hot sauce to the filling before assembling the burritos.
- Cheese Options: While cheddar cheese is classic, feel free to experiment with other cheese blends like Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or queso fresco for a different flavor profile.
- Add Extra Veggies: For added nutrition and texture, include extra veggies like bell peppers, corn, or avocado slices inside the burritos. You can also serve them on the side.
- Make It Low-Carb: For a low-carb alternative, you can use lettuce leaves as wraps instead of tortillas, making a delicious burrito bowl with all the same great ingredients.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the beef filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, simply warm it up and assemble the burritos.
