Description

These Loaded Beef and Cheese Burritos combine seasoned beef, melty cheddar, and a silky cream cheese blend wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. A quick skillet cooks the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin, then the creamy cheese mixture spreads over each tortilla before the beef is added. Baked until the cheese melts into a golden blanket, these burritos deliver a hearty, cheesy, smoky flavor perfect for busy weeknight dinners, meal prep, and family gatherings. Serve with salsa

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup cream cheese
4 large flour tortillas
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6‑8 minutes; drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper; mix well and remove from heat.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese with half of the shredded cheddar cheese until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture on each tortilla, leaving a small border.
Add seasoned beef to each tortilla and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Roll tortillas tightly, place seam‑side down in a baking dish.

Let rest 2‑3 minutes, then serve warm.
