Description

A delicious fusion of grilled cheese and burrito filled with savory beef or beans, fresh veggies, and melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
  • 1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef or beans
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce
  • Butter for grilling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet over medium heat to ensure a perfect golden crust.
  2. Layer the first tortilla: On one tortilla, distribute the melted cheese, ground beef (or beans), shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and drizzle with nacho cheese sauce for a creamy finish.
  3. Top with the second tortilla: Carefully place the second tortilla on top, encasing all those delicious fillings.
  4. Butter both sides: Generously spread butter on the outside of the burrito to enhance that grilled flavor.
  5. Grill the burrito: Place the burrito in the preheated skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, until it turns golden brown and the cheese becomes beautifully melty.
  6. Remove and let it rest: Once perfection is achieved, take it off the heat and let it sit for a minute before slicing in half.

Notes

Customize with additional spices or vegetables for extra flavor. Make-ahead tips: Prepare fillings in advance and store in the fridge.
