For Assembly:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)

• 1 tbsp butter or oil (for grilling)

🔥 Directions:

   In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/2 cup water. Simmer until thickened (about 5 min).

2. Prepare Other Fillings
   Warm the rice and nacho cheese sauce. Set out sour cream, salsa, chips, and any other toppings.

3. Assemble the Burrito
   Lay out a tortilla. In the center, layer:

   • Nacho cheese

   • Seasoned beef

   • Rice

   • Sour cream

   • Salsa

   • Crushed chips

   • Lettuce (if using)

4. Fold It Up
   Fold sides in, then roll tightly into a burrito.

5. Grill with Cheese

   • Sprinkle about 1/4 cup shredded cheese in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Place the burrito seam-side down on top of the cheese.

   • Grill until the cheese melts and forms a crispy crust (2–3 min), then flip and repeat on the other side if desired.

6. Serve
   Let it rest for a minute before slicing. Serve with extra sour cream or salsa for dipping!
