Description
A delicious grilled cheese burrito featuring seasoned beef, rice, tangy sour cream, and melty cheese, all sealed in a crispy exterior.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or about 2 tbsp homemade)
- 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 cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (10–12 inch)
- Butter or oil for grilling (about 1–2 tbsp)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, for 8–10 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease. Return to the pan, add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, stir, and simmer for about 5 minutes until saucy.
- Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20–30 seconds.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat, add about 1/4 cup cooked rice in the center, then 1/4 of the seasoned beef, 2 tbsp nacho cheese sauce, 1 tbsp chipotle sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. Top with a mix of shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
- Fold the short sides in, then roll seam-side down into a tight cylinder.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium, sprinkle about 2 tbsp shredded cheese in the pan, place the burrito seam-side down on the cheese, and press lightly. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts and forms a golden crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Remove and rest for 1 minute before slicing.
Notes
For customization, substitute cooked brown rice or Spanish rice, or use rotisserie chicken instead of beef.
