Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring it crumbles evenly and loses its raw pink color.

- Allow seasoned beef to simmer for 2-3 minutes, developing deep flavor profiles.
- Prepare tortillas by gently warming them in the microwave or on a skillet to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking.
- Create a smooth base layer on each tortilla by spreading a creamy sour cream foundation.
- Drizzle salsa across the sour cream, establishing a zesty flavor backdrop.
- Layer seasoned beef generously down the center of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded cheese over the beef for melty goodness.
- Add crisp lettuce and fresh diced tomatoes for texture and brightness.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward to secure the fillings.

Notes
- Drain beef thoroughly to prevent soggy burritos and ensure a crispy texture.
- Customize seasoning intensity by adjusting taco mix amount or creating homemade blend for personalized flavor profile.
- Use low-fat cheese and lean ground beef for healthier version without compromising taste.
- Swap wheat tortillas with corn tortillas or large lettuce wraps for alternative serving style.
