How to Make Cheesy Spicy Mexican Pizza Burritos

Making these burritos is surprisingly simple! Start by preparing a flavorful taco-seasoned ground beef mixture, then layer it with gooey melted cheese, spicy salsa, and refried beans. Wrap everything in a warm tortilla and give it a quick pan-sear or bake to perfection.
The result? A melty, cheesy burrito with a crispy outer layer and an explosion of spicy flavor inside.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 cup refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup spicy salsa or enchilada sauce
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños (optional, for heat)
• 4 large flour tortillas
• Olive oil or butter for pan-searing
• Fresh cilantro, sour cream, and hot sauce (for serving)

Directions

1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning according to the package directions.
2. Prepare the Filling: Warm the refried beans and spread them evenly over each tortilla. Add a layer of the cooked taco meat on top.
3. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then drizzle with spicy salsa or enchilada sauce.
4. Roll the Burritos: Fold the sides and roll tightly, making sure all ingredients are enclosed.
5. Cook: Heat a little olive oil or butter in a pan. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, bake them at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes.
6. Serve: Slice each burrito in half and serve warm with sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro on top.
