Description

Golden, cheesy, and packed with seasoned beef, rice, and melty cheese — this Grilled Cheese Burrito is the ultimate comfort fusion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese (for exterior)
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, salsa

Instructions

1. In skillet, brown beef over medium heat; drain fat. Add taco seasoning and simmer.

2. Lay tortillas flat; fill with beef, rice, sour cream, and cheese. Roll tightly.

3. Heat skillet to medium-low; spread butter on burrito exterior.

4. Sprinkle cheese on pan; place burrito seam-side down, pressing into cheese. Grill 2–3 min per side until golden.

5. Slice and serve warm with ranch or salsa.

Notes

Low & slow heat makes cheese melt perfectly.

Use two types of cheese for stretch and flavor.

Make ahead and reheat in air fryer for crispiness.
