- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup cooked seasoned rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- 4 large flour tortillas 10-inch size
- Salt to taste
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water if needed. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes until fully combined and thickened. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave between two damp paper towels for about 20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
On each tortilla, layer 2 to 3 tablespoons of seasoned rice, followed by about one quarter of the taco meat mixture.
Spoon 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce over the beef, then scatter a handful of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Add a dollop of sour cream and a heaping spoonful of pico de gallo to each burrito.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the fillings.
If desired, place the burritos seam-side down in a heated skillet for 1 to 2 minutes to crisp the outside slightly.
Serve warm and enjoy immediately.
