Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (go for the lean kind!)
- 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce (get ready for cheesy goodness)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (tangy counterpoint to all that cheese)
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilis (such as Rotel or your favorite brand)
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper (add some color!)
- 1/2 cup diced onion (flavor booster)
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning (spice up your life!)
- 1 bag Nacho Cheese Doritos (get ready to crush some dreams…of flavorlessness)
- 4 flour tortillas (the burrito base)
- Shredded lettuce (optional, for a fresh touch)
Instructions
Step 1: Brown the Beef
- Heat up a pan over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease to avoid a greasy burrito.
Step 2: Spice it Up

Step 3: Cheese Fiesta
- Pour in the Nacho Cheese Sauce and sour cream. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.
Step 4: Dorito Dust Magic
- In a separate bowl, crush the Nacho Cheese Doritos using a rolling pin or food processor. You can make it into a fine powder or leave some chunks for added texture.
Step 5: Burrito Building Time
- Warm the tortillas according to the package instructions—microwave, skillet, or oven, your choice!
- Spread a generous amount of the cheesy beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Step 6: The Crunchy Touch
- Sprinkle the crushed Doritos over the beef mixture. For a fresh touch, add some shredded lettuce if desired.
Step 7: Wrap it Tight
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly to create the perfect burrito package.
