# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
16 ounces ground beef
02 -
1 packet taco seasoning mix
03 -
1 cup cooked white rice
04 -
1/2 cup sour cream
05 -
1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
06 -
1/4 cup chipotle sauce
07 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 -
4 large flour tortillas
10 -
Butter or oil for grilling
# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease, incorporate taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, then simmer for 5 minutes.
02 -
Briefly warm tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until soft and pliable.
03 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a portion of white rice, then a layer of seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella evenly over the fillings.
04 -
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons shredded cheese directly onto the skillet where the burrito will sit. Place the assembled burrito seam-side down over the cheese. Grill until the cheese forms a golden, crisp crust, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the second side until both are crisp.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, reheat on the stovetop. Customize with black beans, jalapeños, or substitute chicken for beef. To make it vegan, use dairy-free cheese and plant-based filling.
