  • Diet: Vegetarian

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

  1. 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.
  2. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and stir until well coated. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  3. Remove your skillet from heat and fold in the cooked rice until well mixed.
  4. Lay out your tortilla and scoop about half a cup of the beef-rice mixture towards the center.
  5. Drizzle over the nacho cheese sauce and add a dollop of sour cream.
  6. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar and mozzarella on top of the filling.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then roll it from the edge closest to you diagonally over the filling.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
