Description

Cheesy, crispy, and loaded with flavor—this grilled cheese burrito combines seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and rice for the ultimate comfort meal.


Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

1 cup cooked white rice

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce

1/4 cup chipotle sauce

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 large flour tortillas

Butter or oil, for grilling


Instructions

Cook the Beef (8–10 mins)
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

Warm the Tortillas
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable for easier folding.

Assemble the Burritos (5 mins)
Lay each tortilla flat. Add layers of rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Roll into burritos, folding in the sides tightly.

Grill the Burritos (3–4 mins per side)
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into the skillet, then place the burrito seam-side down on top. Cook until the cheese melts and forms a golden crust. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter option.

Add jalapeños, black beans, or guacamole for extra flavor and texture.

Use low-carb or whole wheat tortillas if desired.

For an even cheesier crust, mix mozzarella and cheddar directly in the skillet before grilling.
