- 1 cup White Cheddar Cheese shredded
- 1 cup Yellow Cheddar Cheese shredded

- Brown the ground beef in a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Drain any excess liquids.
- Next, add homemade taco seasoning or a taco seasoning packet and beef broth and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes with the lid off to infuse the seasoning with the ground beef.
- Remove the lid and continue simmering until the taco meat reduces and becomes thick. You don’t want it liquidy. It should be nice and thick.
- Layer the taco meat and a little cheese in each tortilla, then roll into a burrito shape, placing the seam side down.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the burritos and then bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the burritos start to crisp.
