Instructions

Preparing the Beef Filling

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add the bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. 
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes along with the garlic, Taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the beef mixture, and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
  5. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Burritos

  1. Warm the tortilla wraps in a separate skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
  2. Place a spoonful of the sour cream and chipotle sauce mixture over the each tortilla wrap, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges.
  3. Spread a layer of Mexican rice on the sauce.
  4. Spoon the ground beef mixture on top of the rice layer, followed by a generous amount of shredded cheese, and sprinkle with some chopped coriander.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito shape.

Grilling the Burritos and Covering with Cheese

  1. To prepare the skillet, drizzle some olive oil and place it on medium heat.
  2. Next, create a line of about ¼ cup of the rest of the shredded cheese in the center of the skillet.
  3. Place the burrito gently in the middle of the melted cheese. Carefully roll the burrito, allowing the cheese to wrap around it.
  4. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the cheese around the tortilla is golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining burritos, and serve them immediately with some extra chopped coriander.

Notes

  • While the recipe suggests gruyere, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese, feel free to explore other varieties. Try different combinations or even a sprinkle of a unique cheese for an extra flavor twist.
  • When filling the burrito, avoid overstuffing it with ingredients. This can make it difficult to roll and may cause the filling to spill out.
  • Ensure the tortillas are heated properly before assembling the burrito. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear or break when rolling. Warm them in a skillet or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds.
  • If you're short on time during the week, consider preparing some ingredients in advance. Chop vegetables, prepare the chipotle sour cream, and pre-cook the rice.
  • If you're a fan of leftovers or want to meal prep, consider doubling the recipe. You can enjoy grilled cheese burritos throughout the week or freeze them for later convenience.
