Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef Can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
  • 1 packet taco seasoning Use homemade if preferred.
  • 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 Can use gluten-free tortillas.
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions
 

Cooking the Beef

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water, then simmer for 5 minutes.

Preparing the Tortillas

  • Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or microwave them briefly to make them pliable.

Assembling the Burrito

  • Lay a tortilla flat and start layering your fillings. Begin with a spoonful of rice, add the seasoned beef, drizzle with nacho cheese and chipotle sauce, and finish with sour cream. Top generously with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

Grilling the Burrito

  • Heat a clean skillet and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center.
  • Place your burrito seam-side down on the cheese and cook until it’s crispy and the cheese melts. Flip and repeat for the other side.

Notes

Serve with guacamole, salsa, or a side salad. Store leftovers wrapped tightly for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
