Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground beef and cook for 8–10 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.
  2. Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is cooking, warm your flour tortillas to make them pliable. Heat them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds.
  3. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a warmed tortilla flat, layer with rice, beef mixture, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and shredded cheeses.
  4. Grill the Burrito: Heat a skillet over medium heat with butter or oil. Place burrito seam-side down, sprinkle with cheese, grill for 3–4 minutes until golden, flip, and repeat.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve with salsa or guacamole.
