  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: Beef

Description

A delightful combination of seasoned beef, fluffy rice, and melted cheese enveloped in a crispy grilled tortilla.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef: Start by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Drain excess grease and add taco seasoning with 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas to make them flexible.
  3. Assemble the Burrito: Lay one tortilla flat, add rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
  4. Grill the Burrito: Heat a clean skillet on medium, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on the skillet, place the burrito seam-side down, and grill for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding black beans, jalapeños, or corn to the filling. Experiment with different cheeses for delightful variations.
