Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
- Prepare the Burritos: Warm tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. Layer rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, shredded cheeses, and crushed tortilla chips in the center of a tortilla. Roll tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
- Grill the Burritos: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Place burritos seam side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Serve hot, with extra sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add pickled jalapeños or hot sauce to the filling.
- These burritos can be made ahead and grilled just before serving.
