cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories and adds protein.

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, while corn tortillas are often cheaper.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork can be less expensive.

Brown 2 pounds of ground chuck in a skillet over medium heat until browned; drain the grease.

Add half a pack of taco seasoning and a whole pack of taco seasoning to the beef.

Pour in about half a cup of water, adding more as needed to prevent it from being too dry.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the water evaporates and the mixture thickens.

Take a flour tortilla and spread a layer of sour cream on it.

Add a layer of cheddar cheese on top of the sour cream.

Spoon the beef mixture onto the tortilla, adding more cheese on top if desired.

Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to form a burrito.

Secure the ends of the burrito with toothpicks if necessary.

Taste the burrito and enjoy.
