Description
This Grilled Cheese Burrito with Beef combines the best of a cheesy grilled sandwich and a loaded beef burrito. Featuring seasoned ground beef, creamy sauces, and a crispy cheddar crust, it’s a rich and satisfying Tex-Mex-inspired meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
- 1 taco seasoning packet
- ½ cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- Salt, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup nacho cheese sauce
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup spicy mayo
- 1 cup cooked rice (optional)
- ¼ cup sliced jalapeños or pickled jalapeños (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Simmer until thickened.
- In a separate pan, sauté diced onions in olive oil until soft and golden. Season with salt.
- Warm tortillas to make them pliable.
- Assemble each burrito by layering beef, sautéed onions, rice (if using), sour cream, spicy mayo, nacho cheese sauce, and jalapeños (if using) in the center of a tortilla.
- Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar on the outside of the burritos.
- Grill seam-side down in a non-stick skillet until cheese is golden and crispy, then flip and cook the other side.
- Slice and serve hot with extra dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use warmed tortillas to prevent tearing while rolling.
- Customize the filling with different proteins like chicken or black beans.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a skillet for best texture.
- For extra spice, mix hot sauce into the sour cream or mayo.
- Skip the rice for a lower-carb version.
