Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Grilled Cheese Burrito
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef for about 8–10 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess grease, add taco seasoning and a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or microwave them for about 20 seconds. Keep them covered with a clean towel to retain warmth.
  3. On each warmed tortilla, layer cooked white rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and chipotle sauce. Top with shredded cheeses before wrapping.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Place the assembled burrito seam-side down and grill for 3–4 minutes until golden, then flip and grill for another 3–4 minutes.
  5. Remove from the skillet, let cool for a minute, slice in half, and serve with chipotle sauce or guacamole.
