3.  One finely chopped onion
4. Two minced garlic cloves
5. One package of taco seasoning mix (or make your own with

7. One cup of shredded cheddar cheese
8. half a cup of water
9.  1/2 cup sour cream – 4 big wheat tortillas

16.  Cheese sauce to pour over

Guidelines:

1.  **Get the Beef Filling Ready:** – In a big skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook for approximately 3 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
2.  Using a spatula, break up the ground beef as it cooks until it is browned.
3. If necessary, drain the extra fat. Add the water and taco seasoning and stir. Simmer until the liquid thickens, stirring regularly, for 5 minutes.
4. Take off the heat and mix in the cheddar cheese shreds until they melt and blend together.

**Put the Burritos Together** –

1. To make the flour tortillas malleable, warm them briefly in a microwave or dry skillet.
2.  Dredge each tortilla in a coating of sour cream. Evenly spoon the meat mixture into each tortilla’s centre. Add salsa or diced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, and jalapeños on top, if desired.

 **Roll the Burritos:**

1. – Tightly pack the filling by folding in the tortilla’s edges and rolling it up from the bottom.

**Serve:** –

1. Arrange the burritos onto a plate for serving. Add a cheese sauce drizzle and top with crumbled tortilla chips. Add some chopped cilantro as a garnish and serve with more salsa on the side.
