Copycat Beefy 5-Layer Burrito

#Copycat Beefy 5-Layer Burrito: the best Taco Bell burrito - at home! | www.fantasticalsharing.com

Recently, I've gone on a Taco Bell copycat recipe creating kick. *Phew* That was a mouthful! Our local Taco Bell (much like all the other places to eat at) is not the best. In fact, it's pretty awful. And while I don't eat much fast food, I can't deny that I do crave fast food every once in a while. It's the reason why we usually get Burger King once or twice a month for lunch.

I took to Taco Bell's website and went through all of the items on their menu. I wrote down which ones I wanted to make copycat recipes for and by the descriptions, tried to figure out what to put in them.

If you've never had a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito, it's so good (if your TB is good). My brother-in-law actually was the one who told me about them when we had gone on a Taco Bell run for the family. They are just way better than a regular ole burrito. There's the seasoned beef (or turkey, if you want to make these a smidgeon less "unhealthy"), refried beans, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and then NACHO CHEESE. I subbed it with salsa con queso which gets about the same effect with maybe a tad more heat and some tomatoes in there too.
