Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup cooked Mexican rice
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce
- ½ cup Fiesta strips
- ¾ cup three-cheese blend (cheddar, mozzarella, jack)
- ½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Add taco seasoning and ⅓ cup water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Warm the Rice: Heat Mexican rice in a saucepan or microwave until warm.
- Assemble the Burrito: Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and layer in the center:
- A scoop of seasoned beef
- A spoonful of rice
- Drizzle nacho cheese sauce
- Sprinkle the three-cheese blend
- Add a few Fiesta strips
- Top with a dollop of sour cream
- Roll It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from bottom to top to form the burrito.
- Optional Toasting: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and toast for 2 minutes on each side for extra crispiness.
Notes
- Customize Freely: You can easily swap out ingredients like beef for chicken, beans, or veggies to suit dietary preferences or add extra spice with jalapeños or hot sauce for a fiery kick.
- Toast for Texture: Toasting the burrito in a skillet after assembling gives it a delicious crispy exterior and keeps the fillings warm and gooey.
- Prep in Advance: Cook the beef and rice ahead of time for a quick assembly when you’re ready to enjoy. Perfect for meal prepping or last-minute meals!
