Ingredients
  

Main Filling
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Feel free to swap this for turkey or a plant-based alternative.
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Making your own is healthier and allows you to dial in the spices.
  • 2 cups Cooked White Rice Brown rice or quinoa is a great alternative.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Yogurt or a dairy-free option works here.
  • 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce Make it from scratch or use your favorite store-bought version.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Mix with mozzarella or a Mexican blend for extra flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Optional, or use a lower-fat cheese.
  • 1 tablespoon Chipotle Sauce Adjust spice level as desired.
Wrap Ingredients
  • 4 large Flour Tortillas Whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas are suitable alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or Oil Use olive oil or non-stick spray for a healthier option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning along with some water according to packet instructions, then let it simmer for a few minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the seasoned beef, cooked rice, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar, and mozzarella. Stir until well mixed.
Assembly
  1. Lay out a flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the filling into the center. Fold the edges and roll tightly to form a burrito.
  2. In the same skillet, heat butter or oil. Once hot, place the burrito seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crispy. Flip and repeat on all sides.
Serving
  1. Remove from heat, let sit for a minute, then slice in half and enjoy.
