How To Make This Cheeseburger Burrito Recipe

STEP ONE: Add the ground beef and ½ cup of diced onion to a 3 to 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.

Cook uncovered and stir often until the ground beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid.

STEP TWO: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the ½ cup + 2 tablespoons of ketchup, ⅓ cup of pickle relish, and 3 tablespoons of mustard.

Stir and bring to a simmer. Continue to cook for three to four more minutes. 

STEP THREE: Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar and the black pepper. Continue stirring until the shredded cheese is well incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Add the cubed Velveeta to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.

STEP FIVE: Heat the six tortillas for 45 seconds using a microwave-safe tortilla warmer. 

STEP SIX: Measure out ½ cup of the ground beef mixture, and spread it out in a 4-inch x 2-inch section on each tortilla.

STEP SEVEN: Top the ground beef with 2 teaspoons of ½ cup of diced onion.

STEP EIGHT: Top the diced onion with 2 tablespoons of melted Velveeta, shredded lettuce, and chopped tomato.

STEP NINE: Fold the sides of the burrito towards the center over the burrito filling and hold the sides in place.

STEP TEN: Fold the bottom of the burrito over the folded sides. Carefully tuck the bottom under the filling, pulling it snug.

Begin rolling the burrito toward the opposite end. Be sure to tighten the burrito as you roll and keep the sides tucked in. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1½ pounds lean ground beef
• 1 cup sweet yellow onion, finely diced, divided in half
• ½ cup ketchup
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• ⅓ cup sweet pickle relish
• 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
• 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
• 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
• 8 ounces Velveeta, cubed (or a generic version)
• 6 to 10 inch flour tortilla, burrito size
• 1½ cups shredded lettuce (¼ cup per burrito)
• ¾ cup chopped Roma tomatoes (2 tablespoons per burrito)

Instructions

 

• Add the ground beef and ½ cup of diced onion to a 3 to 4 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook uncovered and stir often until the ground beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess liquid.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the ½ cup + 2 tablespoons of ketchup, ⅓ cup of pickle relish, and 3 tablespoons of mustard. Continue to simmer for 3 to 4 more minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar and the black pepper. Continue stirring until the shredded cheese is well incorporated.
• Add the cubed Velveeta to a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring until the cheese is completely melted and smooth.
• Using a microwave safe tortilla warmer, heat the 6 tortillas for 45 seconds.
• Measure out ½ cup of the ground beef mixture, and spread out in a 4 inch x 2 inch section.
• Top the ground beef with 2 teaspoons of the remaining ½ cup of diced onion.
• Top the diced onion with 2 tablespoons of the melted velveeta, shredded lettuce and chopped tomato.
• Fold the sides of the burrito towards the center over the filling and hold the sides in place.
• Fold the bottom of the burrito over the folded sides. Carefully tuck the bottom under the filling, pulling it snug. Begin rolling the burrito toward the opposite end. Be sure to tighten the burrito as you roll and keep the sides tucked in. Serve immediately.

Notes

• If you do not have a microwave-safe tortilla warmer, you can use damp paper towels to cover the tortillas while heating in the microwave.
• Be sure to keep the warm tortillas covered to prevent the tortillas from drying out and the edges from becoming brittle. This would make rolling the tortillas a bit difficult.
• If the Velveeta is too thick, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of half and half.
