Taco Bell Burrito Supreme Hack

Pro tips

• Wrap the burrito tightly before grilling to prevent filling from escaping and ensure even heat distribution.
• Grill seam-side down first to seal the tortilla and prevent unraveling.
• Use medium-high heat and avoid pressing down on the burrito while cooking; let the skillet do the work.
• Cook steak to medium or medium-well before assembly so residual heat doesn't overcook it during grilling.

Substitutions

• Steak → grilled chicken breast (leaner protein option)
• Three-cheese blend → cotija or feta (sharper flavor profile)
• Avocado ranch → chipotle ranch or lime crema (different sauce direction)
• Flour tortilla → large spinach tortilla (adds micronutrients)

Storage & make-ahead

Wrap cooled burritos individually in foil and refrigerate up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side to restore the grilled exterior.

What makes this burrito high-protein?

The steak and three-cheese blend combine to deliver significant protein per serving, making it a filling option for those prioritizing protein intake.

Is this burrito actually low-calorie?

Compared to standard Taco Bell burritos with beans, rice, and sour cream, this version skips fillers and focuses on protein-dense ingredients, reducing overall calories.

Can you make this at home?

Yes. Use a flour tortilla, cook steak, add shredded three-cheese blend, avocado ranch sauce, and grill the burrito in a skillet until the exterior crisps.

What's the best way to grill the burrito?

Wrap tightly, seam-side down, and cook in a hot skillet 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese begins to melt through.
