Instructions:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Gently warm tortillas to make them easier to fold.
- Layer each tortilla with seasoned rice, taco beef, shredded cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream or chipotle sauce.
- Fold the sides and roll into burritos, tucking in tightly for a secure wrap.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat with butter or oil. Place burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crisp. Flip to grill the other side evenly.
- Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve hot.
Variations :
- Add sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and crunch.
- Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
- Swap cheddar for Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a cheese blend.
- Drizzle with hot sauce or serve with a side of guacamole for added zest.
Tips :
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a microwave or skillet to prevent tearing.
- To enhance the grilled cheese effect, sprinkle extra shredded cheese directly into the pan before placing the burrito.
- Press the burrito gently with a spatula while grilling to ensure even browning.
- These can be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven for a quick meal prep option.
