A delightful fusion of classic grilled cheese sandwiches and hearty burritos, packed with gooey cheese, savory beef, and a medley of flavors.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 lb ground beef Juicy and tender, it forms the hearty base of the burrito.
- 1 oz packet taco seasoning Aromatic and flavorful, this seasoning elevates the beef.
- 2/3 cup water Ensures the taco seasoning blends perfectly with the beef.
For assembly
- 4 pieces burrito-size flour tortillas Soft and pliable, ready to envelop all the tasty fillings.
- 15 oz can nacho cheese sauce Creamy and zesty, it adds a bold flavor that's hard to resist.
- 2 cups Mexican or Spanish rice Fragrant and wholesome, providing the perfect filler.
- 4 tablespoons Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce Adds a smoky kick that enhances every bite.
- 4 tablespoons sour cream Rich and tangy, balancing out the spices.
- 1 cup tortilla strips Crispy and crunchy, they provide the perfect texture.
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese Melty and gooey, it pulls everything together.
Instructions
Cooking the Beef
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain any excess fat.
- Season the beef with taco seasoning and pour in the water. Stir and let simmer until thickened.
Assembling the Burrito
- Lay out the warm tortillas on a clean surface and spread a generous amount of nacho cheese sauce in the center.
- On top of the nacho cheese, add portions of the seasoned taco meat, rice, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and tortilla strips.
- Fold the sides inwards and roll tightly from the bottom up.
Grilling
- Sprinkle shredded cheese in a clean skillet and place each burrito seam-side down. Grill until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Allow the burritos to rest for a minute before cutting in half.
Notes
Use a non-stick skillet for grilling. Warming the tortillas beforehand makes rolling easier. Customize with additional vegetables for added nutrition.
