Ingredients

For the Burrito Filling:

• 1 lb ground beef

• 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

• 1 cup cooked white rice

• ½ cup sour cream

• ½ cup nacho cheese sauce

• ¼ cup chipotle sauce (or substitute with smoky mayo or spicy ranch)

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 4 large flour tortillas

For the Grilled Cheese Exterior:

• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

• Butter or oil for the skillet

Directions

1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and ¼ cup water, simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave to make them soft and flexible.

3. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat. In the center, layer about ¼ cup rice, 2–3 tablespoons beef, 1 tablespoon nacho cheese, a drizzle of chipotle sauce, and 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle with cheddar and mozzarella.

4. Roll It Up: Fold in the sides and roll tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito.

5. Grill with Cheese: In a clean skillet, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Place the burrito seam-side down over the cheese. Press gently and cook until the cheese melts and forms a crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.
