Description
A delicious hybrid comfort-food staple featuring seasoned beef, rice, and gooey cheeses wrapped in a crispy tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef (or turkey/plant-based crumbles)
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or Greek/yogurt)
- 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle Sauce (or salsa/hot sauce)
- 4 large Flour Tortillas
- 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains (about 6–8 minutes).
- Drain excess fat, stir in taco seasoning and 2–4 tablespoons water; simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Mix cooked rice with nacho cheese sauce and sour cream, if desired.
- Lay a tortilla flat; add rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, and chipotle sauce in the center.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with all tortillas.
- Heat a new skillet over medium. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter or oil; place burrito seam-side down, pressing gently. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.
- Let rest for 1 minute, slice in half and serve hot.
Notes
Measure cheeses loosely to ensure optimal melting without overfilling. Use pre-cooked rice from the fridge, loosening it in the microwave before filling.
