Description
Crispy, cheesy, and stuffed with flavor, this Cheesy Grilled Cheese Burrito is the ultimate comfort food fusion of grilled cheese and burrito perfection.
Ingredients
- Large Flour Tortillas: 4
- Cheddar Cheese: 1 ½ cups shredded
- Monterey Jack Cheese: 1 cup shredded
- Cooked Rice: 1 cup
- Ground Beef: 1 pound, cooked and seasoned
- Sour Cream: ½ cup
- Chipotle Mayo or Sauce: ¼ cup
- Taco Seasoning: 1 packet or 2 tablespoons
- Butter: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and have your ingredients ready to go.
- Combine Ingredients: Mix cooked rice with a bit of taco seasoning. Set aside seasoned beef, shredded cheeses, sour cream, and chipotle mayo in separate bowls.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add a small dab of butter to the skillet and let it melt evenly to coat the surface.
- Assemble the Dish: On a warm tortilla, layer rice, seasoned beef, sour cream, and chipotle mayo. Sprinkle with a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack. Roll tightly into a burrito.
- Cook to Perfection: Sprinkle more cheese directly onto the skillet, then place the burrito seam side down on top. Let it grill until cheese is melted and forms a crispy crust, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Finishing Touches: Flip carefully to grill both sides evenly. Let rest for 1 minute off the heat.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice in half and serve with salsa, extra sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
- Use freshly shredded cheese for a smoother melt.
- Don’t overstuff to make rolling easier and prevent spillage.
- Warm tortillas slightly before assembling to prevent tearing.
- Let burrito rest before slicing to help it hold shape.
