Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 10-ounce can cheddar cheese soup (undiluted)
- ½ cup salsa
- Flour tortillas
- Taco seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Cook the beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Mix in cheese and salsa: Add the cheddar cheese soup and salsa (and taco seasoning, if using) to the beef. Stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble the burritos: Spoon the beef and cheese mixture down the center of a warmed tortilla. Add any additional toppings you like and roll up the burrito.
Suggested Toppings
- Shredded cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Tomatoes or Pico de Gallo
- Black olives
- Onions (white, red, or green)
- Jalapeños
- Refried beans
- Mexican rice
- Extra salsa or taco sauce
- Guacamole or sliced avocado

- Tortilla chips or Fritos for crunch
Notes
- Cheese soup: Use the cheddar cheese soup straight from the can—do not add water. It gives the burritos a creamy, cheesy texture.
- Leftovers: Store any leftover beef mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Keep tortillas separate and assemble burritos before serving.
