 Cheeseburger Burritos: A Flavorful Fusion of Comfort and Convenience

If you love the savory, satisfying flavors of a cheeseburger but want something a bit more adventurous, Cheeseburger Burritos are the perfect solution. This mouthwatering recipe combines all the iconic flavors of a classic cheeseburger, wrapped in a soft, warm flour tortilla for a convenient and portable meal. Whether you're craving a quick weeknight dinner or looking for something unique to impress guests, these cheeseburger burritos are guaranteed to satisfy your taste buds.

What makes these burritos irresistible is the combination of juicy ground beef, tangy mustard, sweet ketchup, and crunchy dill pickle relish, all tucked inside a soft flour tortilla and topped with shredded cheddar cheese. It’s a fun twist on the traditional cheeseburger, offering a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and sour flavors.

Ingredients List:

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef – The star of the show, providing the rich and hearty base of the burrito. Choose lean beef for a healthier option, but you can also go for regular beef for a juicier bite.

1/2 cup FRENCH’S® Mustard – Adds a tangy kick that mimics the zingy flavor of mustard often seen in cheeseburgers. Feel free to use yellow mustard, spicy brown mustard, or even honey mustard if you prefer a sweeter taste.

1/2 cup FRENCH’S™ Tomato Ketchup – A staple in classic cheeseburgers, ketchup adds sweetness and depth to the filling. You can substitute with BBQ sauce for an extra smoky twist.

1/2 cup dill pickle relish (or chopped dill pickle) – The key ingredient for that authentic pickle flavor, giving the burrito a deliciously tangy crunch.

1 cup chopped tomato – Fresh tomatoes bring juiciness and brightness, perfectly complementing the richness of the beef and cheese.

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese – The melty, gooey cheddar cheese gives this dish its signature cheeseburger flavor. For extra indulgence, try a blend of cheddar and mozzarella.

6 flour tortillas (10-inch) – A soft, large tortilla that wraps all the ingredients together, ensuring every bite is perfectly balanced.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cook the Ground Beef:

In a large skillet, heat a little bit of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and fully cooked through. Drain any excess fat, if necessary.

2. Prepare the Cheeseburger Sauce:

In a bowl, mix together the mustard, ketchup, and dill pickle relish (or chopped pickles). Stir until well combined, creating the classic cheeseburger sauce that will infuse the beef with flavor.

3. Combine Beef and Sauce:

Pour the prepared sauce over the cooked ground beef in the skillet. Stir well to coat the beef evenly. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Assemble the Burritos:

Lay the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon an even portion of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with a generous handful of chopped tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Wrap the Burritos:

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a warm skillet or griddle. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, just enough to lightly brown the tortillas and melt the cheese inside.
