Description

A crave-worthy burrito filled with seasoned beef, rice, nacho cheese, sour cream, and crunchy strips, then wrapped in a tortilla and grilled with melty cheese on the outside for the ultimate crispy, cheesy finish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup crushed tortilla chips or red tortilla strips
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for inside)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (for grilling outside)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Warm tortillas and nacho cheese sauce separately.
  4. To assemble each burrito, layer rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips, and shredded cheese in the center of a tortilla.
  5. Fold in sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
  6. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheese onto a skillet over medium heat. Place burrito seam-side down on top. Grill until the cheese melts and sticks to the tortilla.
  7. Flip and grill other side lightly if desired. Repeat for remaining burritos.
  8. Serve hot with salsa or extra sour cream.

Notes

  • Use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack for extra meltiness.
  • Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent tearing.
  • Add beans or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture.
