Best Grilled Cheese Burrito (Printable Recipe Version)

Flour tortillas filled with beef, fried rice, cheese, and spicy mayo, grilled for a crispy golden crust.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Ground Beef Filling

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 1 large onion, diced
03 - 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
04 - 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
05 - 1 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
06 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 120 ml tomato sauce

→ Assembly and Garnishes

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 3 tablespoons spicy mayonnaise
11 - 240 g cooked fried rice
12 - 240 ml nacho cheese sauce
13 - 240 ml sour cream
14 - 1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

# Steps to Make It:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
02 - Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking up any large pieces, until browned. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir for 1 minute to release the flavors.
03 - Pour in the tomato sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
04 - Lay a flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of spicy mayonnaise along the center, then layer with a spoonful of fried rice, followed by a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce.
05 - Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips.
06 - Spoon a generous portion of the prepared ground beef mixture over the fillings.
07 - Fold in the tortilla sides and roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling.
08 - Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. For extra flavor, sprinkle shredded cheese onto the pan before grilling, placing the burrito directly on top to form a cheesy crust if desired.
09 - Slice burritos and serve hot with additional spicy mayonnaise on the side.

# Extra Information:

01 - Warming the tortillas before assembling helps prevent tearing during rolling.
