Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito Copycat

A homemade version of the popular Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito, filled with seasoned beef, refried beans, rice, Fritos, cheese sauce, and sour cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
  • ¼ cup water or beef broth
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 2 cups cooked Mexican rice
  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Fritos or Doritos
  • 1 cup cheese dip (like Tostitos)
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Salsa (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef in a sauté pan, breaking it apart until no longer pink. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring for another minute. Stir in refried beans.
  2. Cook Mexican rice according to package instructions or warm leftover rice.
  3. Heat tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  4. Assemble burritos by adding the meat mixture, rice, Fritos, cheese dip, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Fold the sides in and roll into a burrito.
  5. Serve as is or heat in a pan over medium heat to toast the outside.

Notes

For a crispy exterior, toast the burritos in a pan. Keep crunchy elements separate until assembly to prevent sogginess.
