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
- 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.
- 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.
- Lay a warm tortilla flat, layer with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
- Fold sides over filling and roll tightly to form a burrito.
- 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.
