Copycat Taco Bell burrito supreme recipe

When you want a meal that feels hearty and satisfying, burrito supreme is always a good choice. This version is inspired by the Taco Bell favorite and filled with seasoned beef, refried beans, cheese, vegetables, and a touch of enchilada sauce. Each burrito is loaded with flavor, and the warm tortilla wraps everything into one delicious package. It is an easy recipe to prepare at home, making it perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual family meals.

What I love about this recipe

  • Delivers on the Taco Bell cravings: I remade this recipe recently and it was better than I remembered. My hubby and I devoured it and then ate the leftovers for lunch the next day.
  • Well-seasoned beef: The ground beef is mixed with spices, flour, and water to create a smooth, flavorful filling that is hearty without being too heavy.
  • Balanced fillings: Refried beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, and sour cream work together to create different textures and flavors in every bite.
  • Flexible sauce choice: Using enchilada sauce adds a tangy, savory element, and you can easily switch to a red or green version depending on your preference.
  • Simple prep: The steps are straightforward, and aside from cooking the beef, most of the recipe is quick assembly, making it approachable for busy nights.

Serving suggestions

  • Classic sides: Serve these burritos with Mexican rice, tortilla chips, or a side of salsa to round out the meal and keep the flavors consistent.
  • Fresh toppings: Add guacamole, jalapeños, or extra shredded lettuce to give the burritos more color, freshness, and crunch.
  • Make it a platter: Prepare several burritos, slice them in half, and arrange them on a serving tray for game day or casual gatherings.
  • Customize easily: Swap the ground beef for shredded chicken, ground turkey, or even a vegetarian filling to suit different preferences.
  • Enjoy right away: Burritos are best served hot, so they can be enjoyed while the cheese is melty and the tortilla is still warm.

Description

Make this burrito supreme recipe at home just like Taco Bell, loaded with beef, beans, cheese, and fresh toppings. A quick and flavorful dinner idea.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 dash garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1 (16 ounces) can refried beans
  • 8 (10 inches) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, diced

Instructions

  1. Season the beef. In a medium bowl combine 1 lb ground beef with 1/4 cup flour, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon minced onion, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 dash garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the flour and seasonings into the ground beef.
  2. Cook the beef. Add the seasoned beef mixture and 1/2 cup water to a large skillet over medium heat. Mix well and use a spatula to break up the beef as it cooks. Cook until the beef is fully cooked. The beef mixture should be thick and very smooth with no large chunks of beef remaining. 
  3. Heat the beans, sauce, and tortillas. Heat up the refried beans and enchilada sauce separately, either in the microwave or in saucepans on the stovetop. Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30 to 45 seconds.
  4. Fill burritos. Prepare each burrito by first spreading about a ¼ cup of the refried beans onto the center of each heated tortilla. Spread a portion of the meat mixture over the beans, followed by about a tablespoon of enchilada sauce and 1 ½ tablespoon of sour cream. Finish with lettuce, cheese, tomato, and onion. 
  5. Roll burritos. Roll up the burritos by folding the end of the tortilla closest to you over the filling. Then fold either the left or right end over next. Then fold the top edge over the filling.

Notes

Feel free to make this recipe your own. I like to add fresh jalapenos along with the lettuce, onion, and tomato.
