Taco Bell® Burrito Supreme®

 

To copy Taco Bell's most famous burrito at home you first must assemble the meaty foundation of many of the chain's top selling products: The spiced ground beef. Toss it and seven other tasty ingredients into a large flour tortilla and fold using the same technique as taught to new recruits to the chain. If you like a bit of heat, throw on some Taco Bell Fire Border Sauce.

 

1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash garlic powder
1/2 cup water
1 16-ounce can refried beans
8 10-inch flour tortillas
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
3/4 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 medium tomato, diced
1/2 cup diced yellow onion

 

1. In a medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef.

 

2. Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should be very smooth, somewhat pasty, with no large chunks of beef remaining.

 

3. Heat up the refried beans in a covered container in the microwave set on high temperature for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

 

4. Place the flour tortillas on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Heat the tortillas for 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave on high temperature.

 

5. Build each burrito by first spreading about 1/4 cup of refried beans on the center of a heated flour tortilla. Spread one-eighth of the meat mixture over the beans, then pour about a tablespoon of the enchilada sauce over the meat.

 

6. Stir the sour cream well, so that it is smoother, then spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons onto the burrito. Arrange some of the lettuce, cheese, tomato, and onion onto the tortilla, and then you're ready to roll.

 

7. Fold the end of the tortilla closest to you over the filling ingredients. Fold either the left or right end over next. Then fold the top edge over the filling. You will be leaving one end of the burrito open and unfolded. Repeat with the remaining ingredients and serve immediately.

 

Makes 8 burritos.

Taco Bell® Fire Border Sauce®

 

For years Taco Bell customers had only the "mild" and "hot"varieties of free taco sauce blister packs to choose from to add a bit of zing to their fistful of tacos. That is, until a recent addition to the hot sauce selection kicked the heat-o-meter up a few notches. While true hot sauce freaks might find this sauce still on the mild side when compared with the glut of habanero-based sauces on the market today, it's definitely a recipe that improves on the Mexican fast-food chain's original formulas if you're one of the many who get a rush from a good tastebud tingle.

 

1 6-ounce can tomato paste
3 cups water
3 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons finely minced canned jalapeno slices
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash garlic powder

 

1. Combine the tomato paste with the water in a medium saucepan and whisk until smooth.

 

2. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined.

 

3. Heat mixture over medium high heat until it begins to boil. Continue to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat.

 

4. When sauce has cooled, poured it into a sealed container and refrigerate.

 

Makes 3 cups.

 

As GWB would say, Bon appetite! ;)

ok full stop! everybody put away your cookbooks!

 

unless you can cook it on a Macbook Pro, this is for now, the sole and only official Genius Bar Recipe. :compress:

 

 

Could you perhaps make an exception for legitimate Mexican food rather than the {censored} Taco Bell calls food from "South of the Border" (all I know is, it sure as hell ain't south of the california/az/nm/texas border thats for sure)!

 

I had to :dev: at the idea of this thread either way.
