Description
A delicious melty masterpiece combining grilled cheese and burrito goodness, featuring ground beef or turkey and ooey-gooey cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or Turkey/Plant-based Meat)
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt/Dairy-Free Alternatives)
- 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle Sauce
- 4 large Flour Tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula for about 7–10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and stir until well coated. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Remove your skillet from heat and fold in the cooked rice until well mixed.
- Lay out your tortilla and scoop about half a cup of the beef-rice mixture towards the center.
- Drizzle over the nacho cheese sauce and add a dollop of sour cream.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheddar and mozzarella on top of the filling.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then roll it from the edge closest to you diagonally over the filling.
- Melt butter (or drizzle olive oil) in the same skillet and place the burrito seam side down. Toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and slice it in half to reveal the melty insides.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different fillings or swap the ground beef for plant-based options for a healthier or vegetarian delight.
