Description
A deliciously crispy burrito filled with ground beef, creamy cheese, and flavorful rice, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef (Can substitute with turkey or plant-based)
- 1 packet Taco Seasoning (Make your own for a healthier option)
- 2 cups Cooked White Rice (Substitute with brown rice or quinoa if desired)
- 1 cup Sour Cream (Try yogurt or dairy-free alternatives)
- 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce (Homemade or vegan cheese can be used)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (Mix in mozzarella or Mexican blend for flavor)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Can be omitted or replaced with lower-fat cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Chipotle Sauce (Adjust based on spice preference)
- 4 large Flour Tortillas (Whole wheat or gluten-free are good alternatives)
- 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil (Olive oil or non-stick spray for healthier option)
Instructions
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and rice, mixing thoroughly.
- Remove from heat and stir in sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and half of each cheese type.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to soften.
- Place a generous portion of the beef and cheese mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- In the same skillet, melt butter or oil, and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and cover to let it melt before serving.
Notes
Slice the burritos in half to showcase the gooey cheese and delicious filling. Serve with fresh salsa or guacamole.
