Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Microwave

Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef adds a savory and hearty base
  • 1 packet taco seasoning infuses the beef with zesty flavors
  • ¼ cup water to add with taco seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked white rice provides bulk to the filling
  • ½ cup sour cream contributes a creamy tang
  • ½ cup nacho cheese sauce gives an extra cheesy element
  • ¼ cup chipotle sauce adds a smoky kick

For the Cheesy Layers

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese creates a rich flavor
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella adds creaminess and stretch

For the Wrap

  • 4 large flour tortillas holds everything together
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 5–7 minutes until it's no longer pink. Drain excess grease, add taco seasoning and water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • While the beef simmers, heat the tortillas on a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds.
  • On each warmed tortilla, layer the cooked white rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella.
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, sprinkle shredded cheese onto the hot surface, place one burrito seam-side down, and grill for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • Flip the burrito and cook for another 2–3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Slice in half to serve your delicious burrito hot.

Notes

Allow the cheese to melt thoroughly for that perfect crispy crust.
