Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ground Beef: <\/strong>Lean ground beef doesn&#8217;t need to be drained after cooking (or at least, not very much), so that&#8217;s what I use. You could definitely go with a different ground beef like ground chuck &#8211; just drain it as needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taco Seasoning: <\/strong>This is my favorite store bought <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3IHr5E1\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">taco seasoning<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong>: Or beef broth, both work just fine. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Refried Beans: <\/strong>Canned are fine, or you could make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/easy-refried-beans-frijoles-refritos\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">easy refried beans<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mexican Rice:<\/strong> Cooked leftover <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/easy-authentic-mexican-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">Mexican rice<\/a>, or instant Mexican rice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tortillas: <\/strong>You will need large, burrito-sized flour tortillas. You can also make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/homemade-flour-tortillas\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">homemade flour tortillas<\/a>, just roll them out to be over 10 inches in size.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chips: <\/strong>Fritos corn chips, just like in the Taco Bell version, add a special crispy crunch. You can also use dorito chips, <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/homemade-corn-tortilla-chips-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">tortilla chips<\/a>, or any chips you like. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheese Dip: <\/strong>Warm up some cheese dip, whatever brand you like. Taco bell uses orange nacho cheese dip, but I also love these with white queso.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shredded Cheese: <\/strong>Mexican cheese blend, of course!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sour Cream: <\/strong>I like full-fat sour cream for the most indulgent, rich topping, but you could use light sour cream if you prefer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salsa:<\/strong> Optional, but tasty. We love this <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/restaurant-style-salsa-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">restaurant-style salsa<\/a>.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"A copycat of the fast-food favorite, this Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito is stuffed with seasoned beef, beans and rice, Fritos, and more!\u00a0\" data-pin-title=\"Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito | The BEST Taco Bell Copycat Recipe!\" src=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1.jpg\" alt=\"Several burritos on a tray, with one of the burritos cut in half on the diagonal.\" class=\"wp-image-102290\" title=\"A copycat of the fast-food favorite, this Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito is stuffed with seasoned beef, refried beans, rice, Fritos, and more!\u00a0\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-295x443.jpg 295w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-335x502.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-1-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Use Different Chips?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure! If you don&#8217;t want to use Fritos, you could use Doritos or any other corn chip that you like. If you don&#8217;t want to use corn chips, a corn-free tortilla chip like Siete would be a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Substitute Chicken?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure! This is a beefy melt burrito, but a chicken version would also be super yummy. You could use ground chicken, <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/crockpot-salsa-chicken\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">salsa chicken<\/a>, or you could use chopped boneless chicken breast or thigh meat.

Here are my most helpful tip and tricks for making a great Taco Bell burrito copycat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Last-Minute Assembly: <\/strong>Build your burritos right before you are ready to eat, so the Fritos stay crispy. If you try to assemble them ahead of time, the heat of the ingredients will soften the Fritos and make them less appealing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toasting Option: <\/strong>You can serve these Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burritos as-is, or heat them in a pan on the stove over medium heat to toast the outside.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Save a Step: <\/strong>Next time you make your favorite rice and\/or refried beans, make a little extra to stash in your freezer. Then you&#8217;ll already have those ingredients on hand if you want to make beefy melt burritos!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freeze &#8216;Em: <\/strong>If you love the idea of having frozen burritos on hand, you&#8217;re not alone &#8211; so stock your freezer using the Freezing Tips below!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"A copycat of the fast-food favorite, this Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito is stuffed with seasoned beef, beans and rice, Fritos, and more!\u00a0\" data-pin-title=\"Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito | The BEST Taco Bell Copycat Recipe!\" src=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12.jpg\" alt=\"A tray of homemade burritos with bowls of ingredients arranged around the tray.\" class=\"wp-image-102301\" title=\"A copycat of the fast-food favorite, this Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burrito is stuffed with seasoned beef, refried beans, rice, Fritos, and more!\u00a0\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-295x443.jpg 295w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-335x502.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-12-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This kind of dish is so fun to serve &#8211; everyone loves seeing how similar the flavors and textures are to their restaurant favorite.

However, you can safely store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Freeze This?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can! Although if you&#8217;re going to freeze these, I would leave out the Fritos so they don&#8217;t get mushy. Either way, package the burritos individually in plastic wrap plus a layer of foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.&nbsp;Thaw and reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven!<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-102308\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"102308\" data-servings=\"4\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-tnc-recipe-save-this\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" async=\"async\" data-noptimize=\"1\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"\/\/scripts.mediavine.com\/tags\/the-novice-chef.js\"><\/script>\n<div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Beefy-Melt-Burrito-Image-560x560.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail2x size-thumbnail2x\" alt=\"An overhead shot of burritos on a tray.

However, you can safely store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freezing: <\/strong>If you&#8217;re going to freeze these, I would leave out the Fritos so they don&#8217;t get mushy. Either way, package the burritos individually in plastic wrap plus a layer of foil, and freeze for up to 3 months.\u00a0Thaw and reheat in the microwave, on the stovetop, or in the oven!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Last-Minute Assembly: <\/strong>Build your burritos right before you are ready to eat, so the Fritos stay crispy. If you try to assemble them ahead of time, the heat of the ingredients will soften the Fritos and make them less appealing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toasting Option: <\/strong>You can serve these Taco Bell Beefy Melt Burritos as-is, or heat them in a pan on the stove over medium heat to toast the outside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save a Step: <\/strong>Next time you make your favorite rice and\/or refried beans, make a little extra to stash in your freezer. Then you&#8217;ll already have those ingredients on hand if you want to make beefy melt burritos!<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe-video\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div
