Taco Bell 5 Layer Burrito Recipe
Taco Bell Beefy 5-Layer Burrito (Copycat) is an easy, cheesy meal featuring refried beans, ground beef, cheddar cheese, nacho cheese, and sour cream. Making these burritos at home tastes just as good and is quicker than a drive-thru run. Plus, they're kid-friendly and perfect for packing a quick meal.
Ingredients
- 12 Burrito-sized flour tortillas
- 3 cups Refried beans
- 1 pound Ground beef seasoned like Taco Bell's
- 1 1/2 cups Nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese finely shredded
- 1 cup Light sour cream
Instructions
- Warm the Tortillas: Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 20 seconds at 50% power.
- Layer the Burritos: Spread nacho cheese sauce evenly on half of the tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with the remaining tortillas and gently press down.
- Add Fillings: On the second tortilla, spread refried beans, followed by the seasoned ground beef, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold in the top and bottom of each tortilla, then wrap tightly. Be careful, as some cheese may escape during wrapping.
Notes
- Warm Tortillas: Always warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to wrap.
- Even Layers: Spread the fillings evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Secure the Wrap: Use a toothpick to keep the burrito tightly wrapped if you're making them ahead of time or packing them for later.
