- Cook the ground beef thoroughly: Make sure the ground beef is cooked through before adding it to the burritos. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
- Shred the cheese: Shredded cheese melts better and is easier to distribute evenly throughout the burritos.
- Add your favorite toppings: In addition to the ingredients listed in the recipe, you can add other toppings to your burritos, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.
- Serve immediately: Burritos are best served immediately after they are made. If you need to make them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
