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
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, brown and drain the ground beef.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the drained beef. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Mix mayonnaise with chipotle sauce to make the chipotle mayo.
- For each tortilla, add nacho cheese, a quarter of the ground beef, and 1/2 cup rice.
- Divide the chipotle sauce evenly among the four burritos.
- Top with sour cream and tortilla strips. Fold the burritos up.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
