A cheesy, hearty homemade copycat of the Taco Bell Grilled Cheese Burrito with seasoned beef, nacho cheese, and a crispy cheese-crusted wrap.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 cup cooked rice (optional)

  • 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce

  • 1/3 cup sour cream

  • 1/4 cup chipotle mayo

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar

  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack

  • 1/2 cup crushed Fritos or tortilla strips

Instructions

  • Cook beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer 3–4 minutes.

  • Warm rice and nacho cheese. Prepare remaining ingredients.

  • On each tortilla, layer rice, beef, nacho cheese, sour cream, chipotle mayo, Fritos, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

  • Roll tightly into burritos.

  • Heat a skillet over medium. Sprinkle shredded cheese directly onto pan in a rectangle. Place burrito seam-side down over the cheese. Press gently.

  • Cook 2–3 minutes until cheese crisps and sticks. Flip and warm other side briefly.

  • Serve hot.

Notes

  • Swap beef for chicken or beans.

  • Use gluten-free or low-carb wraps as needed.

  • Store ungrilled burritos in fridge or freezer.
