Grilled Cheese Burrito


  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x
  • Diet: None

Description

A mouthwatering combination of grilled cheese and a classic burrito filled with seasoned ground beef, warm rice, and zesty sauces.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (substitute with chicken or turkey for lighter option)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or try your own homemade blend)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning along with 1/4 cup of water to the beef, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
  3. Lay a warm tortilla flat, layer with a portion of rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and finish with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in it, place the burrito seam-side down and grill until the cheese melts and the bottom is golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Notes

Serve with fresh guacamole, tortilla chips, or corn salsa for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
