Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Grilled Cheese Burrito
  1. Cook the Ground Beef in a large skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, breaking it up until browned. Drain excess grease, add taco seasoning and ¼ cup water, simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the Tortillas by heating them in a skillet or microwave—30 seconds on each side in a skillet or 20-30 seconds in the microwave with a damp paper towel.
  3. Assemble the Filling by layering cooked white rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and shredded cheeses on a warmed tortilla.
  4. Wrap the Burrito tightly by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom, placing it seam-side down.
  5. Grill the Burrito on medium heat with butter or oil for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently until cheese melts and forms a crispy crust.
  6. Serve and Enjoy by allowing the burrito to cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve with salsa or guacamole.
