Ingredients for Chopped Cheese Loaded Burritos
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon chili powder

How to Make Chopped Cheese Loaded Burritos Step by Step
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook for three minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook briefly without burning it.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook until the beef becomes browned and slightly crispy around the edges.
Stir ketchup and mayonnaise into the beef mixture to create the classic chopped cheese flavor. Mix thoroughly so the sauce coats every bite evenly while keeping the meat juicy and flavorful.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over each tortilla before adding the hot beef mixture directly on top.
Add shredded lettuce, diced tomato, parsley, and a drizzle of creamy burger sauce. Fold the sides inward tightly, then roll each burrito carefully to keep all the filling secure inside.
Place the rolled Chopped Cheese Loaded Burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet. Toast each side for two minutes until golden brown and crispy while the cheese melts perfectly inside.
