Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon Taco Bell taco seasoning
- 1 pouch (8.8 ounces) ready-to-serve Spanish rice
- 3 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce
- 6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
- 3 tablespoons Taco Bell chipotle sauce
- 4 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1/2 cup tortilla strips, divided
- Extra chipotle sauce, nacho cheese sauce and reduced-fat sour cream, for serving
Direction
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef; cook until browned, 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off excess grease. In a small bowl, combine water and taco seasoning; stir into the cooked meat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, 9-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, cook the Spanish rice according to package directions; set aside. Warm the nacho cheese sauce according to package directions; set aside.
- To assemble the burritos, arrange flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon chipotle sauce down the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup cooked rice and 1/4 cup taco meat. Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon nacho cheese sauce and 2 teaspoons sour cream. Sprinkle each with a few tablespoons shredded cheese and crushed tortilla strips. Fold the sides and ends of the tortillas over the filling. Roll until sealed; tuck in the sides.
- Working in batches, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, arrange about 3-4 tablespoons shredded cheese in a line down the center of the pan, the same length as the burrito. Place a burrito on the cheese, seam-side down. Once the cheese is bubbly, carefully flip the burrito over. Cook until the bottom is browned, 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining burritos.
- Serve with extra chipotle sauce, nacho cheese sauce and sour cream, if desired.
