Taco Bell Copycat Grilled Cheese Burrito

Ingredients:

For the Beef Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 ounce taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup water

For the Burritos

  • 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Mexican or Spanish rice (cooked)
  • 1 can (15 oz) nacho cheese sauce
  • 4 tablespoons creamy chipotle sauce
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 cup tortilla strips
  • 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese

Instructions:

1. Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease if needed.
Add taco seasoning and water, stir well, and simmer for about 3–5 minutes until thickened.

2. Warm the Tortillas

Heat tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave so they are soft and easy to fold.

3. Assemble the Burritos

Lay a tortilla flat and add:

  • A scoop of Mexican rice
  • A portion of seasoned beef
  • A few tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 tablespoon creamy chipotle sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • A handful of tortilla strips

Fold the sides inward and roll tightly into a burrito.

4. Add the Grilled Cheese Layer

Sprinkle about 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese directly onto a hot skillet.
Place the burrito seam-side down on top of the cheese.

Cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts and forms a crispy layer on the tortilla.

5. Serve

Remove carefully from the skillet and serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Tips for Best Flavor

  • Use freshly cooked Mexican rice for the best texture.
  • Add extra chipotle sauce if you prefer a spicier burrito.
  • For extra crunch, add more tortilla strips just before serving.

Optional Variations

  • Substitute shredded chicken for ground beef.
  • Add black beans for extra protein and texture.
  • Include diced tomatoes or lettuce for a fresher burrito filling.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with:

  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole
  • Extra nacho cheese sauce for dipping
