2 tablespoons melted butter
06 -
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
07 -
12 6-inch tortillas
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks until browned. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
02 -
Stir in the taco seasoning according to the packet’s instructions, mixing thoroughly to coat the beef evenly.
03 -
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Blend in the salsa until the mixture is uniform.
04 -
Lay a tortilla flat and spread a portion of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Top with a spoonful of seasoned beef, then sprinkle a generous amount of Cheddar cheese over the beef.
05 -
Fold the tortilla over the filling, burrito-style, to create a tight pocket.
06 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Spray a baking tray with cooking spray and arrange the filled tortillas on the tray. Brush the tops with melted butter to help them turn golden brown.

Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy.
