Steps
Refried Beans

Taco Beef
- Brown ground beef on medium heat. Drain the excess fat. Season like taco filling according to the directions of your taco seasoning packet.
Cheese Sauce
- Heat up milk/water until it steams, then add sodium citrate and garlic powder. Stir until dissolved.
- Slow add grated cheddar into the pot, stirring. Add more when the last batch of cheese is dissolved.
- Once cheese is fully added, stir in hot sauce.
- Taste and add salt if desired.
To Assemble
- Lay 1 tortilla down flat. Smear about 2 tbs refried beans and 1 tbs of sour cream.
- Scoop about 2 tbs of ground beef.
- Drizzle cheese sauce, just not too much to make it a soup. Add a pinch or two of shredded mexican cheese.
- Place about 3 tbs of rice
- Roll into a burrito and place seam side down on a 350°F heated griddle. Once you finish the next burrito, flip the previous one. Once both sides are done, they are ready to eat.
