Ingredients
Meat and Seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
Fillings
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce
- ¼ cup chipotle sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Base and Cooking
- 4 large flour tortillas
- Butter or oil for grilling
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas on a dry skillet or use a microwave briefly to make them soft and flexible for rolling.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer the fillings starting with 1 cup cooked white rice, then the seasoned beef, followed by ½ cup nacho cheese sauce, ¼ cup chipotle sauce, and ½ cup sour cream. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Grill the Burrito: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on the skillet, then place the burrito seam-side down onto the melted cheese. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese forms a crispy crust. Flip the burrito and repeat the grilling on the other side until golden and crispy and the cheese is melted.
Notes
- You can use homemade taco seasoning to control salt and spices.
- Feel free to substitute cooked brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
- For extra crispiness, brush a little butter or oil on the outside of the burrito before grilling.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole, or additional sour cream as desired.
- Use tortillas large enough to hold all fillings securely without bursting.
