• Drizzle the cheese sauce over the beef.
• Add a spoonful of sour cream, diced tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and jalapeños (if using).
• Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

4. Toast the Burritos (Optional but Recommended)

• Flip and toast the other side.

A double beef cheesy burrito is already a meal on its own, but pairing it with the right side dishes and accompaniments can take it to the next level. Here are some delicious ways to serve your burrito:

1. With Chips and Salsa: A side of crispy tortilla chips and a vibrant salsa—whether it's a classic tomato salsa, salsa verde, or a smoky chipotle dip—add a refreshing contrast to the rich, cheesy burrito.
2. With Mexican Rice: Fluffy, spiced Mexican rice is a perfect side dish that complements the burrito's bold flavors, adding an extra layer of heartiness to the meal.
3. With Guacamole and Sour Cream: The creamy, rich texture of guacamole pairs beautifully with the cheesy beef, while sour cream adds a superb, tangy balance to the spices.
4. With a Crunchy Slaw: Fresh cabbage tossed in a light lime vinaigrette adds a crisp, refreshing element that cuts through the burrito's richness.
5. With Refried or Black Beans: Adding a side of refried or seasoned black beans provides additional protein and flavor, creating a well-rounded, filling meal.
6. With a Side Salad: A crisp romaine or mixed greens salad with a zesty cilantro-lime dressing makes for a lighter option that complements the burrito's bold flavors.
7. With a Fried Egg on Top: If you're feeling indulgent, topping your burrito with a fried egg adds a luscious, runny yolk that enhances the burrito's richness.
8. With Pickled Onions and Jalapeños: These tangy and spicy additions provide a vibrant contrast, balancing the heaviness of the cheese and beef.

Pair your burrito with a refreshing cold drink like a classic horchata, agua fresca, or an ice-cold soda for the ultimate experience.
