Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium tomatoes (diced)
- 1 bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups Mexican rice
- 200 g shredded cheese (gruyere, cheddar, or Monterey Jack)
- 1 cup sour cream (mixed with 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce)
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 2 tablespoon chopped coriander
Instructions
Preparing the Beef Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef.
- 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.
- Stir well to combine and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assembling the Burritos
- Warm the tortilla wraps in a separate skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- 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.
- Spread a layer of Mexican rice on the sauce.
- 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.
- 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
- To prepare the skillet, drizzle some olive oil and place it on medium heat.
- Next, create a line of about ¼ cup of the rest of the shredded cheese in the center of the skillet.
- Place the burrito gently in the middle of the melted cheese. Carefully roll the burrito, allowing the cheese to wrap around it.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until the cheese around the tortilla is golden brown.
- 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.
