Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, stir in taco seasoning and ¼ cup water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm your flour tortillas to create a pliable wrapper either in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
  3. On a warmed tortilla, layer a scoop of cooked rice, seasoned beef, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat with butter or oil. Grill the burrito seam-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden, then flip and grill the other side.
  5. Transfer to a cutting board, slice in half, and serve with salsa or guacamole.
