This copycat grilled cheese burrito recipe lets you remake a Taco Bell favorite at home! Melty, cheesy, ooey-gooey tortillas packed with ground beef, Spanish rice, and creamy chipotle sauce.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart for 5-6 minutes. Once it is mostly cooked through, drain any excess grease. Add taco seasoning and any water called for in the recipe and simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from heat.
To assemble your burritos arrange flour tortillas on a surface in front of you. Fill each one with rice, ground beef, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, creamy chipotle sauce, shredded cheese, and tortilla strips. Fold over the sides and roll your burrito closed.
2 cups Spanish Rice, 2 cups shredded cheese, ½ cup nacho cheese sauce, ½ cup sour cream, ½ cup fiesta tortilla strips, 4 burrito size flour tortillas, ½ cup creamy chipotle sauce
In a skillet over medium-high heat, arrange about ¼ cup of cheese in a strip about the size of your burrito. Place your burrito over the top of the cheese, place a heavy skillet on the burrito to press it down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and browned. Remove the heavy skillet, carefully flip the burrito, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to lightly brown the other side. Repeat with the remaining burritos.
2 cups shredded cheese
Serve with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, etc.
