TACO BELL CHILITO (CHILI CHEESE BURRITO) RECIPE!!!



Taco Bell Chilito (Chili Cheese Burrito) Recipe!!! image

For those of you who live in a place where Taco Bell does not sell their classic Chilito (and judging from Net, this includes alot of places), you can simply make them at home! This recipe is something I developed through trial and error. It is VERY close to the taste of the original. It also has that perfect "chilito" texture. Enjoy!! Important Note: The hot sauce called for in the recipe is Taco Bell's Hot or Mild Sauce (DO NOT USE the Fire sauce) You can make your own Taco Bell Hot Sauce: http://www.recipezaar.com/Taco-Bell-Hot-Sauce-45527

REAL DEAL TACO BELL CHILI CHEESE BURRITO



Real Deal Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burrito image

I'm posting this recipe in response to seeing many inaccurate copycat recipes online. This is an extremely cheap and easy item to make but every other recipe is too complicated, uses too many ingredients, and adds things which were never in Taco Bell's version. They may be good additions but they aren't Taco Bell copycats!

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 burritos, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 -3 tablespoons hormel no-bean chili
1 cup medium cheddar, shredded
2 -3 flour tortillas, thin ones are best

Steps:

  • Warm tortillas on a griddle. Keep warm.
  • Heat a few spoonfuls of chili in a small pot.
  • Add an equal or greater amount of cheese. More cheese than chili tastes most like Taco Bell's version.
  • Melt. Don't allow the cheese to stick and burn.
  • Wrap about a large spoonful or two of the melted chili cheese in a tortilla.
  • Makes a great chip dip. May be easily expanded to make enough for a group.
  • Optional (good) additions which make this unlike a Taco Bell version: beans, extra beef, onions, Taco sauce, other seasonings, Frito chips.

How to make Taco Bell Chili Cheese Burrito

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 can refried beans
1 pound ground beef
2 pounds shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
3 cups water
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon minced dried onions
2 tablespoons canned jalapeno
fresh burrito tortilla shells

Steps:

  • First brown the beef in a pan, finely breaking up the meat with a fork. Combine the tomato paste with the water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until smooth. Add the cayenne pepper; chili powder, salt cornstarch, vinegar, and dried onion and stir. Chop the jalapeno slices very fine. You can use a food processor, but don't puree. The best kind of jalapenos to use are those bottled for nachos or pizza. Add them to the mixture. Heat the mixture to boiling. Continue to stir about 3 minutes and remove from heat. Once the beef is cooked drain all of the fat out. Add half of the refried beans to the beef. Slowly add 2 1/2 cups of the tomato sauce mixture. Add half of the cheese, and cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Let simmer for 30 minutes. Spoon 3/4 cup of the chili into each tortilla, add cheese and tomato sauce mixture (as desired) and wrap up the tortilla.

1 lb. ground beef
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 10 oz. can refried beans

To make the burrito, spoon on some of the chili cheese mixture and sprinkle the same amount of cheese into a burrito shell. Wrap up the burrito. To press the burrito, heat up a separate skillet. Add the bottom of the burrito to it and let it sit for 1-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the burrito is toasty. Flip and toast the other side, pressing it down with a spatula. Serve with your favorite hot sauce, or if you have it, leftover packets of Taco Bell sauces!
