Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ounce packet taco seasoning (about 2 tablespoons)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- ½ cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 12 small flour tortillas

Instructions
- In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat until no pink remains. Drain any fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and let simmer 5 minutes or until thickened.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until almost fluffy. Slowly add in salsa and cheese and mix well.
- Take a tortilla and spread a spoonful of the salsa mixture in the center. Spoon some ground beef on top of the salsa mixture (enough to cover the salsa).
- Fold the tortilla up as you would a burrito. Place on a greased cookie sheet.
- Brush tops of the burritos with melted butter. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and garnish with taco toppings.
