Grilled Cheese Burrito


Description

Indulgent burrito filled with seasoned beef, creamy cheeses, and a crispy exterior, perfect for any gathering or late-night craving.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or ~2 tbsp homemade blend)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • Butter or oil for grilling (about 2 tbsp)
  • Optional: 2 tbsp extra shredded cheese (for skillet crisping)

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until browned (about 8–10 minutes). Drain grease, stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water; simmer for 4–5 minutes until coated. Remove from heat.
  2. Heat each tortilla briefly on a dry skillet (15–20 seconds per side) or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds.
  3. Lay a warm tortilla flat, layer with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Fold sides over filling and roll tightly to form a burrito.
  5. Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat, add butter or oil. Optionally, sprinkle shredded cheese in the pan for a crispy layer. Place burrito seam-side down and cook until golden (3–4 minutes), then flip and repeat.
