Grilled Cheese Burrito

Instructions:

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
  3. Gently warm tortillas to make them easier to fold.
  4. Layer each tortilla with seasoned rice, taco beef, shredded cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream or chipotle sauce.
  5. Fold the sides and roll into burritos, tucking in tightly for a secure wrap.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
