Description

Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then add taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
Assemble each burrito by layering cooked rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, and crunchy tortilla strips in the center of a tortilla.
Fold in the sides and roll up the burrito tightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of Mexican blend cheese directly onto the skillet in a circle slightly larger than the burrito.
Place the burrito seam-side down onto the melting cheese. Press gently and cook until the cheese forms a golden crust and sticks to the tortilla, about 2–3 minutes.
Carefully flip and grill the other side for 1–2 minutes, if desired.
Remove and repeat with remaining burritos. Serve hot with salsa or guacamole.

Notes

Use refried beans instead of beef for a vegetarian version.
Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Leftovers can be wrapped and reheated in a skillet or air fryer for extra crispiness.
