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

Cook the Beef (8–10 mins): Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain the excess grease. Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet or in the microwave to make them more flexible.
Assemble the Burrito (5 mins): Lay a tortilla flat. Layer it with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella.
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 and cook until the cheese melts and forms a crispy crust. Flip and repeat for the other side.
