- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

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.
