TACO BELL CHILITO (CHILI CHEESE BURRITO) RECIPE!!!

This recipe is something I developed through trial and error. It is VERY close to the taste of the original. It also has that perfect "chilito" texture. Enjoy!! Important Note: The hot sauce called for in the recipe is Taco Bell's Hot or Mild Sauce (DO NOT USE the Fire sauce) You can make your own Taco Bell Hot Sauce: http://www.recipezaar.com/Taco-Bell-Hot-Sauce-45527

- In a large pot or dutch oven, cook ground beef, onions, chili powder and salt. Cook until ground beef is cooked through and onion is translucent. Add water and rice to pot. Mix well and bring to a boil. Put lid on pot and lower heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes. Once rice is cooked through, add re-fried beans and tomato paste. Stir to combine. If mixture is soupy then mix 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1Tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Mix well and add it to rice mixture. If rice is NOT soupy, skip this step. Add 1 1/2 cups of cheese to rice mixture and mix well. Scoop 1/2 cup of mixture into each tortilla and roll up like a burrito. Serve immediately.
REAL DEAL TACO BELL CHILI CHEESE BURRITO
I'm posting this recipe in response to seeing many inaccurate copycat recipes online. This is an extremely cheap and easy item to make but every other recipe is too complicated, uses too many ingredients, and adds things which were never in Taco Bell's version. They may be good additions but they aren't Taco Bell copycats!

Steps:
- Warm tortillas on a griddle. Keep warm.
- Heat a few spoonfuls of chili in a small pot.
- Add an equal or greater amount of cheese. More cheese than chili tastes most like Taco Bell's version.
- Melt. Don't allow the cheese to stick and burn.
- Wrap about a large spoonful or two of the melted chili cheese in a tortilla.
- Makes a great chip dip. May be easily expanded to make enough for a group.
- Optional (good) additions which make this unlike a Taco Bell version: beans, extra beef, onions, Taco sauce, other seasonings, Frito chips.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your burrito.
- Season your beef well: Be generous with the chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a Mexican blend will work well.
- Warm your tortillas before filling them: This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
- Don't overfill your burritos: You want to be able to fold them up tightly without them falling apart.
- Serve your burritos with your favorite toppings: Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Pico de Gallo are all great options.
Conclusion:
The chili cheese burrito is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give the chili cheese burrito a try. You won't be disappointed!
