The Grilled Cheese Burrito combines seasoned ground beef, creamy nacho cheese, spicy chipotle mayo, rice, and crunchy tortilla strips, all wrapped in a tortilla and grilled with melty Colby jack cheese for the ultimate fusion comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 envelope taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 15 ounces can Rico’s nacho cheese sauce
  • 2 cups prepared Mexican rice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
  • Sour cream, as desired
  • Tortilla strips, as desired
  • 4 burrito size tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Colby jack cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown and drain the ground beef.
  2. Add taco seasoning and water to the drained beef. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  3. Mix mayonnaise with chipotle sauce to make the chipotle mayo.
  4. For each tortilla, add nacho cheese, a quarter of the ground beef, and 1/2 cup rice.
  5. Divide the chipotle sauce evenly among the four burritos.
  6. Top with sour cream and tortilla strips. Fold the burritos up.
  7. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Place a burrito seam-side down on the cheese. Cook until cheese is browned and adhered to the burrito.
  8. Lift burrito with a spatula, sprinkle another 1/4 cup cheese in the pan, and flip burrito onto the new cheese side. Cook until browned and crispy.
  9. Repeat with remaining burritos. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite toppings like jalapeños or guacamole.
  • For extra crunch, add more tortilla strips before folding.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese for best melting.
  • Swap ground beef for chicken or turkey if preferred.
