Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until fully cooked. Drain excess grease, add taco seasoning and a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds until pliable. Cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
  3. Assemble each burrito by layering 1/2 cup of cooked rice, the seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, chipotle sauce, and a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese on each tortilla.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add butter or oil. Grill the burrito seam-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and grill the other side for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Slice the grilled burrito in half and serve warm with dipping sauces like chipotle sauce or guacamole.
