Ingredients
Scale
For the Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
For the Burrito Assembly
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for toasting)
Instructions
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Season the Meat: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water if needed. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the seasoning to fully coat the beef.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked seasoned beef, cooked white rice, shredded cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream. Mix gently to combine the ingredients evenly without breaking up the rice.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Divide the beef and cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each. Fold the sides over and then roll tightly from one end to create a burrito shape.
- Toast the Burritos: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil. Place the burritos seam side down in the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set and avoid burns. Enjoy warm and gooey.
Notes
- You can customize these burritos by adding your favorite toppings like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or lettuce.
- For a lighter version, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
- If you prefer more heat, add hot sauce or extra taco seasoning to the beef mixture.
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice or leftovers.
- Make sure to not overfill the burritos to prevent them from bursting during toasting.
