Description
This Grilled Cheese Burrito combines seasoned ground beef, spicy mayo, creamy nacho cheese sauce, fried rice, sour cream, and crunchy tortilla chips, all wrapped in a tortilla and grilled to golden perfection with a crispy cheese crust.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons spicy mayo
- 1 cup fried rice
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (for grilling)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the ground beef, cook until browned, breaking up large chunks. Season with salt, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir for another minute to enhance the flavors.
- Pour in the tomato sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- To assemble, lay a tortilla flat, spread 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo down the center, add fried rice, drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, add sour cream, sprinkle tortilla chips, and top with seasoned beef.
- Fold in the tortilla sides, roll tightly from the bottom, and heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle shredded cheese on the skillet and place the burrito seam-side down on top. Grill each side for 2–3 minutes until a crispy, golden cheese crust forms.
- Serve hot with extra spicy mayo on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Wrap leftovers tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a dry skillet to maintain the crispy exterior.
- Swap in ground turkey, shredded chicken, or sautéed veggies for variations.
- Plain or seasoned rice can replace fried rice.
- Extra toppings like salsa, cilantro, or lime juice enhance flavor.
