Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
- 1/4 cup water
Burrito 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 (8–10 mins): Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning packet along with 1/4 cup water, then simmer the mixture for 5 minutes until the flavors meld.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas on a dry skillet or microwave them briefly to make them flexible and easier to roll without cracking.
- Assemble the Burrito (5 mins): Lay one warm tortilla flat on a surface. Layer evenly with cooked white rice, the seasoned beef mixture, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Then sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top of the fillings.
- Grill the Burrito (3–4 mins per side): Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese onto it. Place the assembled burrito seam-side down onto the cheese in the skillet. Cook until the cheese melts and forms a crispy, golden crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the burrito and repeat the process on the other side to achieve the same crispy crust and melted cheese exterior.
Notes
- Use fresh tortillas for best flexibility and to avoid tearing.
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce based on your preferred spice level.
- Grilling with extra cheese on the pan helps create a crispy, flavorful crust on the burrito.
- Serve with additional sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
