Instructions
Cooking the Filling
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, and sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef. Stir and cook as directed on the seasoning packet.
- Once cooked, add the cooked rice, sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and chipotle sauce to the skillet. Stir until combined and heated through.

- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Cooking the Burritos

- Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing in half.
Notes
For serving, present burritos cut in half to show off the melted cheese inside. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side. Cut into smaller pieces for appetizer portions. Pair with a refreshing soft drink or iced tea.
