Ingredients

Scale

1 pound Ground Beef (substitute with turkey or plant-based options)
1 packet Taco Seasoning (homemade for a healthier twist)
2 cups Cooked White Rice (or brown rice/quinoa)
1 cup Sour Cream (yogurt or dairy-free alternatives work well)
1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce (opt for homemade or vegan cheese)

1 tablespoon Chipotle Sauce (adjusted for spice preference)
4 large Flour Tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free can be used too)
2 tablespoons Butter or Oil (swap in olive oil or non-stick spray)

Instructions

Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Season: Add taco seasoning and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir until well mixed and heated through.
Build the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, and chipotle sauce. Mix until creamy.
Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon in the filling, and roll it up tightly.
Grill: Heat butter or oil in a clean skillet over medium heat. Grill each burrito until golden on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each.

Notes

These burritos can be served with guacamole, crispy tortilla chips, or a side salad. For leftovers, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
