Burritos or Nachos. Pretty similar at our house. The main difference is the vehicle - tortilla chips or a tortilla ? Since we usually have both on hand we came up with this pretty close to perfect all-in-one filling for either use. It's simple and quick and really tasty. It also freezes well so make a big batch and freeze some for later. Opt to add any or all of the toppings .. no rules here other than enjoy :)

How To Make beefy burritos or nachos by maggie

  • 1
    If you don't have leftover white rice prepare that so it has a chance to cool before beginning.
  • 2
    Brown the ground beef and drain well. Return the cooked beef to the pan and add the rice, salsa, diced green chilies, black beans and taco seasoning.
  • 3
    Add the 3 Tbsp each of all the cheeses and cook over medium low until the cheese has melted and the contents are hot. Ladle the meat mixture into bowls and sprinkle with corn chip crumbles.
  • 4
    For burritos, spoon the contents of the bowl into soft flour tortillas. For nachos serve with tortilla corn chips. Top your selection with any or all of the toppings your desire.
