Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

Fillings

  • 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 cheese

Wrap and Cooking

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 lb of ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning with a little water as per packet instructions or your homemade blend. Simmer until well combined and flavorful.
  2. Prepare the Filling Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooked white rice, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and chipotle sauce. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy, spiced base.
  3. Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas on a flat surface. Evenly distribute the beef mixture onto each tortilla, followed by a generous spoonful of the creamy rice mixture. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
  4. Wrap the Burritos: Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then roll them tightly from one end to the other to secure all ingredients inside.
  5. Grill the Burritos: Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Place each burrito seam-side down and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese inside has melted.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the grilled cheese burritos from the pan, let them rest for a minute, then slice if desired and serve warm with extra chipotle sauce or salsa on the side.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based meat for a leaner or vegetarian option.
  • To make it spicier, add jalapeños or hot sauce inside the filling.
  • Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed to get a good melt throughout the burrito.
  • Use fresh tortillas for best texture and rolling capability.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated; just reheat in a skillet to maintain the grilled texture.
