Grilled Cheese Burrito
A delicious fusion of gooey melted cheese, savory ground beef, and zesty chipotle sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1 lb ground beef Tender and flavorful
- 1 oz packet taco seasoning Aromatic and zesty
- 2/3 cup water For moisture
- 2 cups Mexican or Spanish rice Fluffy and filling
- 15 oz nacho cheese sauce Creamy and indulgent
- 4 tablespoons Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce Spicy and tangy
- 4 tablespoons sour cream Cool and creamy
- 1 cup tortilla strips Crunchy for texture
For Assembly
- 4 pieces burrito-size flour tortillas Soft and pliable
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese Melty and rich
Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Reduce heat to medium, add taco seasoning and water to the beef, stir well, and cook for 5 more minutes until thickened.
- Lay each tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center, then add a quarter of the taco meat, rice, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and tortilla strips.
- To fold, bring the bottom edge up over the filling, fold the sides, and roll tightly with the seam on the bottom.
Grilling
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese on the skillet in a burrito-sized rectangle.
- Once the cheese is slightly melted, place one burrito seam-side down onto the cheese. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese has melted and turned golden.
- Carefully flip the burrito to repeat the process on the other side, using another 1/4 cup of cheese.
- Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove the burrito from the skillet.
- Repeat the grilling process with remaining burritos and serve hot.
Notes
For a healthier option, use lean ground turkey or chicken, and for a vegetarian version, substitute beef with veggies or beans.
