Here’s a closer look at the delicious ingredients used in this recipe.

Directions

1. Preheat your skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook the ground beef: Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Season the beef: Stir in the taco seasoning and cooked white rice, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until heated through.
4. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chipotle sauce. Mix until well combined.
5. Assemble the burritos: Lay out the tortillas and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture and cheese mixture onto each tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll tightly.
6. Grill the burritos: Heat the skillet again and add butter or oil. Place the burritos seam-side down and grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
7. Serve warm: Once grilled to perfection, slice in half and serve immediately, perhaps with some salsa or guacamole for dipping!

Tips & Variations

• Ingredient substitutions: Feel free to substitute ground beef with turkey, chicken, or your favorite plant-based option for a lighter dish. Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a healthier twist.
• Optional variations: Add black beans, corn, or diced bell peppers for more flavor and nutrition. You can also mix in some jalapeños for an extra kick.
• Storage or reheating tips: To store leftovers, wrap the burritos tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
