4 large flour tortillas
09 -
3 tablespoons spicy mayo
10 -
1 cup fried rice

1 cup nacho cheese sauce
12 -
1 cup sour cream

1 cup tortilla chips
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking it until fully browned. Break up any large pieces as you cook. Season the beef with salt, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir to combine, allowing the spices to bloom for about 1 minute. Pour in the tomato sauce, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld.

Lay each flour tortilla flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo down the center. Add a spoonful of fried rice, then drizzle with nacho cheese sauce. Follow with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of crispy tortilla strips. Add a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef on top.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom, securing the filling. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend directly onto the hot surface. Place the burrito seam-side down on top of the cheese and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, until the cheese forms a crispy, golden crust.

Serve the burritos hot with extra spicy mayo on the side for dipping.
# Notes:

Ensure the tortilla is tightly rolled to prevent the filling from spilling during grilling.
