Instructions

Prepare the skillet and onions: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent.
Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Break apart with a spatula and cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
Season the beef: Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing thoroughly. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Assemble the burritos: Lay the flour tortillas flat. Distribute the beef mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom.
Bake the burritos: Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted inside.
Prepare toppings: While baking, mix sour cream and salsa in a small bowl. In another bowl, arrange shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced black olives.
Serve: Remove burritos from oven, plate them, and top each with a dollop of the sour cream and salsa mixture. Sprinkle with lettuce, tomatoes, and olives. Serve immediately.
