Ingredients

Scale

Servings: 4 burritos
Total Time: 25 minutes

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade mix)

  • 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

  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • Butter or oil — for grilling

Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Beef (8–10 minutes)

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef.

  • Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning + ¼ cup water.

  • Simmer 5 minutes until saucy and well-seasoned.

2️⃣ Warm the Tortillas

  • Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side or microwave for 20 seconds until pliable.

3️⃣ Assemble the Burritos (5 minutes)

For each tortilla, layer down the center:

  • Cooked rice

  • Seasoned beef

  • Nacho cheese

  • Chipotle sauce

  • Sour cream

  • Sprinkle cheddar + mozzarella

Fold sides inward and roll tightly into a burrito.

4️⃣ Grill with Cheese (3–4 minutes per side)

  • Melt 1–2 tbsp shredded cheese directly in a clean skillet.

  • Place burrito seam-side down over the cheese → cook until crisp.

  • Flip and grill the other side the same way.

Notes

✨ Add black beans, jalapeños, or pico for extra flavor
🔥 Want it spicier? Swap chipotle sauce for sriracha ranch
🌯 Press gently while grilling to create a perfect crispy crust
🧀 Fresh-grated cheese melts best — avoid pre-shredded if possible
🥑 Add shredded lettuce, onions, or guac after grilling for freshness
