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.
Why this recipe works
- 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.
- Restaurant-style experience: The recipe captures the taste of a fast-food favorite while giving you full control over ingredients, freshness, and portion sizes.
- Simple preparation: 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.

- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1lb 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
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium tomato (diced)
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the ground beef with flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the flour and seasonings into the ground beef.
- Add the seasoned beef mixture and the 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).
- Heat up the refried beans in a microwave safe container for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Place the flour tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and heat for 30 to 45 seconds.
- Prepare each burrito by first spreading about a ¼ cup of the reified beans onto the center of each heated tortilla. Spread a portion of the meat mixture over the beans, pour on about a tablespoon of enchilada sauce over the meat. Spread about 1 ½ tablespoon of sour cream onto each burrito.
- Arrange some of the lettuce, cheese, tomato, and onion onto the 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.
