Directions

1. Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
2. Add Seasoning: Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, cooking according to the packet instructions until well combined.
3. Mix in Rice: Add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir until evenly mixed with the beef and seasoning.
4. Build the Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, and half of both the cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
5. Combine Ingredients: Fold the beef and rice mixture into the cheese mixture until well incorporated.
6. Assemble the Burritos: Place a generous amount of the filling onto the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle extra cheese on top before folding and rolling them tightly.
7. Grill the Burritos: In a skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat. Grill each burrito seam-side down for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice in half, serve warm, and enjoy your delicious grilled cheese burritos with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce!

• Ingredient substitutions: Swap ground beef for turkey, chicken, or tempeh. Use frozen vegetables or beans instead of rice for a lighter version.
• Optional variations: Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or black olives to the filling for extra flavor.
• Storage or reheating tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for the best texture or in the microwave for a quicker option.
