Makes: 4 burritos
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 6 Tbsp water
- 2 Tbs taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- 1 ⅓ cups cooked seasoned rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese (I use a combination of cheddar, Monterey jack, and mozzarella)
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce, warmed
- ½ cup chipotle sauce
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup tortilla strips
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, 5-7 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease from the skillet if necessary. Then return skillet to the stove and reduce heat to low.
- Add water and taco seasoning to beef and stir to combine. Continue cooking until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a griddle until soft and pliable. Place warmed tortillas on a flat surface.
- Spoon about ½ cup ground beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Add ⅓ cup rice, 2 Tbsp shredded cheese, 2 Tbsp cheese sauce, 2 tsp chipotle sauce, 1 tsp sour cream, and 1 Tbsp tortilla chips over the ground beef. Feel free to adjust ingredient amounts to your own tastes.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, like an envelope, and then roll it up tightly.
- Preheat griddle or large skillet to medium heat.
- Brush top and bottom of each burrito with butter. Sprinkle about 1 Tbsp shredded cheese onto the top of each burrito and press down to adhere. Place each burrito on heated griddle cheese-side down. Grill for about 1 minute until cheese is nice and golden. Add another 1 Tbsp shredded cheese to top of each burrito and press down to adhere. Flip burritos and cook for another minute until cheese is golden.
- Feel free to add additional toppings to burritos (sour cream, guacamole, salsa, etc.) and enjoy!
