Ingrédients
  

For the filling

  • 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 Can substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas.
  • Butter or oil to taste for grilling

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Prep your workspace and ingredients by measuring out each component.
  • Cook your rice in advance if needed.

Cooking

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to break it up.
  • Drain any excess grease from the beef.
  • Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the beef and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them easier to roll.
  • Assemble the burrito by layering rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and shredded cheeses in the tortilla.
  • Roll the burrito tightly and grill it in a skillet with butter or oil, adding cheese for a crispy crust.
  • Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Serving

  • Let the burrito rest for a minute, then slice and serve with extra condiments as desired.

Notes

For dietary adjustments, consider using ground turkey, cauliflower rice, or making the dish dairy-free with plant-based ingredients. Avoid overstuffing the burrito to prevent it from breaking.
