Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
- 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 (10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend, for grilling)
- Butter or oil for skillet grilling
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 lb ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water to the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.
- Lay a tortilla flat. In the center, layer 1/4 cup rice, 2–3 tablespoons beef, 1 tablespoon nacho cheese sauce, a drizzle of chipotle sauce, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a burrito.
- In a clean skillet, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Place the burrito seam-side down over the cheese. Press gently and cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until the cheese melts and forms a crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
Notes
- Use plant-based cheese and sour cream for a dairy-free version.
- Substitute beef with chicken, pork, or plant-based crumbles.
- Customize with black beans, jalapeños, or guacamole.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheat in a skillet for a crisp texture or microwave for 60–90 seconds.
