Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for easy folding.
Assemble the burritos: In each tortilla, layer rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese, shredded cheddar, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and tortilla strips if using.
Roll the tortillas tightly into burritos.
In a skillet, melt butter or add a bit of oil over medium heat. Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese directly onto the skillet in the shape of the tortilla.
Place the burrito seam-side down on the melted cheese. Grill until cheese is golden and crispy. Flip and lightly grill the other side if desired.
Remove from skillet and serve warm.

Notes

Use any blend of cheese you prefer for extra meltiness.
You can substitute chipotle sauce with spicy mayo or your favorite hot sauce.
Add beans or jalapeños for a spicy twist.
