Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 6-inch tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Optional toppings: sour cream, green onions, additional salsa
Instructions
- In a skillet, crumble and cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the Taco seasoning packet according to the package instructions. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the salsa until well combined.
- Heat the tortillas briefly if needed to make them pliable. Place a spoonful of the cream cheese and salsa mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add a spoonful of the seasoned ground beef on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Fold each tortilla over the filling, burrito-style, to enclose it. Lightly spray a baking tray and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the filled tortillas on the greased tray. Brush the tops with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and top with optional toppings like sour cream, green onions, or extra salsa.
