how to make Grilled Cheese Burrito

Ingredients :

• 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

Directions :

1. Cook the Beef (8–10 mins): Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain any excess grease. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water, then let it simmer for 5 minutes.

2. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave. This makes them more flexible and easier to roll.

3. Assemble the Burrito (5 mins): Lay a tortilla flat and start layering. First, add some rice, then the seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Finally, top it off with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.

4. Grill the Burrito (3–4 mins per side): Heat a clean skillet and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese in it. Place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet. Cook until the cheese melts and forms a golden, crispy crust. Flip the burrito and repeat on the other side.
