09 -
4 large flour tortillas
10 -
3 tablespoons spicy mayonnaise
11 -
1 cup cooked fried rice
12 -
1 cup nacho cheese sauce
13 -
1 cup sour cream
14 -
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
15 -
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until softened and translucent.
02 -
Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up into small pieces, until fully browned.
03 -
Season beef with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices. Pour in tomato sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes until flavors meld.
04 -
Lay each flour tortilla flat. Spread 1 tablespoon spicy mayonnaise down the center of each.
05 -
Top each tortilla with a portion of fried rice, drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, add a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips. Add a generous scoop of seasoned ground beef on top of the fillings.
06 -
Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll up tightly from the bottom, securing the burrito closed.
07 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend onto the surface. Place each burrito seam-side down on the skillet. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crisp, and the exterior cheese melts into a crust.
08 -
Serve burritos hot with extra spicy mayo on the side for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
Warm tortillas before filling to prevent tearing and allow for a tighter roll.
