Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
- 1/4 cup water
Filling
- 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
Other
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Butter or oil for grilling
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, then let it simmer for 5 minutes to absorb flavors and thicken the sauce.
- Warm the Tortillas: To make tortillas flexible and easy to roll, heat them briefly on a dry skillet or in the microwave until soft and warm.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of cooked white rice, followed by the seasoned beef. Add dollops of nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream evenly over the filling. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top to ensure a cheesy crust once grilled.
- Grill the Burrito: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on the skillet, then place the assembled burrito seam-side down on top. Grill until the cheese melts and forms a crispy crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burrito and repeat on the other side to create a golden, crispy grilled cheese crust. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier grilling and crispier cheese crust.
- Slightly warm tortillas prevent cracking when rolling the burrito.
- Adjust chipotle sauce amount based on your preferred spice level.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with seasoned black beans or sautéed vegetables.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole, or additional sour cream as desired.
