Main Ingredients

  • 1 packet taco seasoning Use homemade blend if preferred.

Instructions
 

Cooking Beef

  • In a skillet set over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
  • Drain any excess grease, then add the taco seasoning along with 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Warm Tortillas

  • Pop the tortillas on a dry skillet or briefly microwave them for enhanced flexibility.

Assemble Burrito

  • Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with a base of white rice, followed by the seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and dollops of sour cream.
  • Finish with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar and mozzarella.

Grill Burrito

  • Heat a clean skillet and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in the center.
  • Place the burrito seam-side down and cook until the cheese melts and forms a crispy crust, then flip and repeat on the other side.
