Ingredients
→ Main Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 ounce packet taco seasoning
â…” cup water
15 ounce can nacho cheese sauce
4 burrito size flour tortillas
2 cups Mexican or Spanish rice
4 tablespoons store bought Taco Bell Creamy Chipotle Sauce
4 tablespoons sour cream
1 cup tortilla strips
2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
Steps
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off the excess fat.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the taco seasoning and water to the beef, and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the liquid has thickened. Set aside.
Lay out each tortilla. Spread a layer of nacho cheese sauce in the center, top with 1/4 of the taco meat, 1/4 of the rice, drizzle 1 tablespoon of chipotle sauce, 1 tablespoon of sour cream, and a handful of tortilla strips.
Fold the burrito by bringing up the bottom edge, folding in the sides, and rolling tightly. Make sure the seam is on the bottom to keep it secure.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese directly onto the skillet. Place one burrito, seam-side down, on the cheese. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, browned, and stuck to the burrito.
Carefully lift the burrito with a spatula, sprinkle another 1/4 cup of cheese on the skillet, and flip the burrito over. Repeat the process on the other side. Once both sides are golden and crispy, remove from the skillet and set aside.
Repeat with the remaining burritos. Serve hot and enjoy!
