Instructions
- Cook the Beef:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

- Prepare the Tortillas:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
- Roll up the tortillas tightly, enclosing the filling.
- Bake the Burritos:
- Place the burritos seam side down in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle more cheese on top of the burritos.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
- Prepare the Toppings:
- In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve:
- Top the burritos with the tomato mixture, sour cream, and guacamole.
- Garnish with sliced avocado.
Notes
- For added flavor, try adding minced garlic or a splash of lime juice to the beef mixture.
- If you prefer spicier burritos, consider adding chopped jalapeños or hot sauce to the fillings.
- To make the burritos extra crispy, you can lightly pan-fry them in a skillet with a little oil before baking.
- Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
