Description

A delicious mash-up featuring melty cheeses, spicy chipotle, seasoned beef, and a crispy, cheesy exterior, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling
  • 1/4 cup water (for simmering the seasoned beef)

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for flexibility.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and layer with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Heat a clean skillet and sprinkle 2 tbsp of shredded cheese. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook until cheese melts and forms a crispy crust. Flip and repeat.

Notes

For best results, allow ingredients to cool slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess. Choose between butter or oil based on your flavor preference.
