Grilled Cheese Burrito

A fun and delicious take on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, this Grilled Cheese Burrito combines comforting flavors with the fullness of a burrito, perfect for a quick dinner or a tasty snack.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1/4 cup chipotle sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for grilling

Instructions

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for 8–10 minutes. Drain the excess grease, add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water, then simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave for flexibility.
  3. Lay a tortilla flat and layer with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
  4. Heat a clean skillet and sprinkle 2 tbsp of shredded cheese. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook until the cheese melts and forms a crispy crust. Flip and repeat, grilling for 3–4 minutes per side.

Notes

Serve hot with extra chipotle sauce or sour cream for dipping. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
