Stuffed Ground Beef Burritos with Creamy Spicy Sauce
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of your favorites)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking the beef)
1 tablespoon butter (for crisping the burritos)
Fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the Spicy Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, hot sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust the heat by adding more hot sauce if you prefer it spicier. Set aside.
Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili powder. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Assemble the Burritos: Lay the warm tortillas flat on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, spoon some of the cooked ground beef, then add a generous amount of shredded cheese. Drizzle some of the creamy spicy sauce over the filling.
Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to encase the filling. Ensure that both ends are closed so the filling doesn’t spill out.
Crisp the Burritos: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve: Cut the burritos in half, allowing the gooey cheese and spicy sauce to ooze out. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your hearty, delicious stuffed burritos with creamy, spicy goodness!
