TACO BELL BEEFY FRITOS BURRITO CLONE
Ultimately you would make everything from scratch, but since this is a copycat recipe of a dollar menu junk food item, let's take some shortcuts ;-) Basically it's beef, rice & nacho cheese sauce and Fritos, nuttin' fancy. but ours will taste superior due to the fact it's not a dollar menu item and we can add more beef changing the flavor profile from a rice, fritos and cheese burrito with a minuscule meat flavor to a monumental explosion of culinary bliss! (too much? lol!) The only "stand" I take is I don't eat store bought Nacho cheese (but I will eat Taco Bell gas sauce, go figure) so the recipe includes a homemade version that literally takes 5 minutes.*Note, there is a great clone of Taco Bell seasoning and Spanish rice made from scratch on this website, if you're into the extra effort, it's worth it.

Steps:
- Cook ground beef and Spanish rice according to directions on packages.
- For the Nacho cheese sauce:.
- Add the butter and flour to a small sauce pot. Heat and whisk the butter and flour together until they become bubbly and foamy. Continue to cook and whisk the bubbly mixture for about 60 seconds.
- Whisk the milk into the flour and butter mixture. Turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to come to a simmer while whisking. When it reaches a simmer, the mixture will thicken. Once it's thick enough to coat a spoon, turn off the heat.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until melted into the sauce. If needed, place the pot over a low flame to help the cheese melt. Do not over heat the cheese sauce.
- Once all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the salt and chili powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply whisk in an additional splash of milk.
- Lastly, let's eat!
- Warm a flour tortilla in a pan or oven until pliable. lay on a flat surface, rice, beef, Fritos and top with nacho cheese sauce, roll 'er up and dig inches.
