Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat a skillet over medium high. Add the ground meat and break it up with a spoon. Cook until no pink remains, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat, then return the pan to the heat.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat and add a splash of water. Stir, let it simmer briefly so the seasoning clings to the meat, then remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and chipotle sauce. Stir until smooth and well blended.
- Fold the seasoned meat into the rice mixture until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Assembly
- Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a thin layer of cheddar across the center. Spoon one quarter of the beef rice mixture onto the cheese. Add another light sprinkle of cheese over the filling.
- Fold the sides in, then roll the tortilla to form a burrito.
Cooking
- Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium low. Brush each burrito with butter or oil. Place seam side down and cook until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently so the tortilla seals and the cheese melts inside.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 1 minute, then slice and serve with your favorite dips or a crisp salad.

Notes
Serve hot, cut in half to reveal the molten center; best garnished with fresh toppings like chopped cilantro, avocado, or pico de gallo. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap each burrito tightly and store for up to 2 months.
