Cook the Filling
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or chicken with diced onion and garlic until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Make It Creamy
Lower the heat and stir in sour cream, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and salsa.
Mix until everything is melted and smooth. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until thick and creamy.
Assemble the Burritos
Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
Spoon the creamy mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly.
Optional – Bake for Melty Perfection
Place rolled burritos in a baking dish. Sprinkle with extra cheese and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Top & Serve
Garnish with cilantro, diced tomatoes, avocado, or your favorite toppings. Serve hot!
🌯 Variations:
Spicy Kick: Add diced jalapeños or chipotle in adobo.
