Description
A cheesy, hearty copycat version of the popular Grilled Cheese Burrito—filled with seasoned beef, seasoned rice, nacho cheese, sour cream, chipotle sauce, and melty cheese, all wrapped in a toasted cheese-crusted tortilla.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 cups cooked seasoned rice
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheese (for outside crust)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp butter or oil (for toasting)
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water, then simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Warm tortillas to make them pliable.
- Assemble each burrito: spread a spoonful of nacho cheese in the center, add seasoned beef, a scoop of rice, shredded cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Add lettuce last.
- Roll tightly into a burrito.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese directly onto the pan.
- Place the burrito seam-side down onto the melting cheese. Cook until the cheese forms a crispy golden crust.
- Flip and warm the other side if desired.
- Repeat with remaining burritos and serve hot.
Notes
- Use Taco Bell–style chipotle sauce for the closest flavor match.
- Add crushed tortilla chips for extra crunch.
- Swap beef for chicken or beans for a lighter version.
- Press gently when toasting to help the cheese adhere to the tortilla.
