Recipe Tips:

• Prepare Griddle – Preheat the griddle to medium heat. Add oil to the griddle which helps to cook the ground beef.
• Cooking Seasoned Ground Beef – Cooking ground beef is easy on the griddle. Make sure to break up the ground beef as it cooks in small crumbles.
• Assembling the Burritos – When adding the layers of ingredients to the tortilla, make sure you leave room to fold. I focus on layering the ingredients as close to the edges to you.
• Grilling Burritos – Allow the burritos to grill on the Blackstone to add a crispy texture. The center will still stay soft, but the tortilla will have the best texture.

Variation Ideas:

• Tortilla – We recommend using a large tortilla to make this burrito. There are different tortilla options that meets all your dietary restrictions.
• Beans – We love using refried beans but you can also use black beans or pinto beans. You can also substitute with more beans with the ground beef.
• Meat – We used ground beef, but you can easily make this burrito with ground turkey. You can also use leftover shredded chicken.
• Cheese – Feel free to use any type to make your burrito. You can use a different cheese blend that includes mozzarella, pepper jack and more.
• Rice – We used leftover white rice, but you can use a spanish rice or Mexican rice for added flavor.
• Topping – Feel free to add your favorite toppings when serving this burrito. Reduced fat sour cream, fiesta salsa, guacamole, tomatoes and pico de gallo. We even like to add avocado ranch sauce and shredded lettuce with the beans and cheese.

How to Roll Stuffed Burritos:

These stuffed burritos are best when the ingredients are not loaded in the burrito. You want to make sure that they are tucked tight. This helps to not have the ingredients squishing out.

When layering the ingredients, you want to start layering on the side closest to you and not in the center. This allows you to easily roll the burrito nice and tight.

Tuck the sides first then begin tucking in the edges to wrap everything up. Placing the burrito back on the griddle, allows for the sides to heat together.

What to Serve with Stuffed Burritos?

These stuffed burritos are loaded with flavor and can easily serve with many different sides. These are some of my favorites.

• White Rice
• Chips and Queso
• Roasted Vegetables

How to Store Leftovers:

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We like to separate the ingredients to easily make again when ready to serve.
