Last updated

So, you’re wondering how to make a smothered burrito just like the ones you get at Taco Bell, right? No worries, it’s easier than you might think and oh-so-tasty!
Quick Guide to a Homemade Smothered Burrito
First things first, gather your ingredients: large flour tortillas, your choice of meat (beef, chicken, or even plant-based alternatives for a twist), refried beans, Mexican rice, cheese, red enchilada sauce, sour cream, and any additional toppings you love.
Start by warming your tortilla; this makes it easier to wrap. Spread a layer of refried beans on the tortilla, add your cooked meat and a spoonful of rice. Roll up your burrito tightly, ensuring the ends are tucked in. Lay it seam-side down in a baking dish. Now, the fun part: smother it with red enchilada sauce and sprinkle generously with cheese. Bake in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and your favorite toppings.
Taco Bell Taste from the Comfort of Your Home
Creating your own smothered burrito not only fills that Taco Bell craving but also adds a personalized touch to your meal. Experiment with different meats, swap in different sauces, or add extra toppings to make it uniquely yours. The beauty of home cooking is the freedom to adjust to exactly how you like it!
