Ingredients

  • 1 lb 90% lean ground beef
  • 1 oz taco seasoning
  • 0.75 cup filtered water
  • 2 cups steamed long-grain rice
  • 0.5 cup nacho cheese sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar blend
  • 0.5 cup sour cream
  • 4 flour tortillas (10-inch)

Instructions

  • Sauté ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully browned; remove excess fat via drainage.
  • Combine taco seasoning and water with the beef; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Apply thermal energy to tortillas until pliable, approximately 20 seconds per side.
  • Distribute 0.5 cup rice, 4 oz seasoned beef, 2 tbsp nacho cheese sauce, and 0.25 cup shredded cheese onto the center of each tortilla.
  • Apply 2 tbsp of sour cream as the final layer before mechanical folding.
  • Fold the parallel sides toward the center and roll from the bottom edge to create a sealed cylinder.
  • Toast the assembled burrito on a dry pan over medium heat for 60 seconds per side to ensure internal cheese melt.
