Description
Grilled Cheese Burrito: Cheesy on the outside, loaded on the inside—a crunchy, gooey comfort-food mashup that’s as satisfying as it sounds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ½ cup water
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup tortilla strips (optional for crunch)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (for grilling outside)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Warm tortillas slightly so they’re easy to fold.
- In the center of each tortilla, layer:
Seasoned beef
Cooked rice
Nacho cheese sauce
Shredded cheese
Sour cream
Tortilla strips (if using) - Fold in sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium. Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese directly onto the skillet in a rectangle slightly larger than the burrito.
- Place burrito seam-side down on top of the melting cheese. Cook 2–3 minutes until cheese forms a golden crust attached to the tortilla. Carefully flip and toast the other side 1–2 minutes.
- Remove, let rest 1–2 minutes, then slice and serve.
