Ingredients

Scale

1 pound lean ground beef
1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
¼ cup water, or beef broth
1 cup refried beans, optional
2 cups cooked Mexican rice, or instant Mexican rice
4 Burrito-sized flour tortillas
2 cups Fritos or Doritos
1 cup cheese dip, warmed (like Tostitos)
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
½ cup sour cream
Salsa, if desired


Instructions

Cook the beef in a sauté pan, breaking apart the meat as it cooks, until no longer pink. Then add the taco seasoning and water and stir, cooking for another minute. Stir in the refried beans. (If the mixture is too thick, add more water to reach desired consistency.)
Cook your Mexican rice or warm leftover rice. Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Assemble: Lay a tortilla flat and add a couple of tablespoons of the meat mixture into the middle of the tortilla. Add a couple of tablespoons of rice over the meat. Layer with Fritos, a large spoonful of cheese dip, some shredded cheese, and a spoonful of sour cream. Fold the sides in, then start rolling from one end to roll into a burrito. Repeat with remaining burritos.
Serve as is, or heat them in a pan on the stove over medium heat to toast the outside. Serve immediately with salsa, if desired.
