Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, beef, or beans for vegetarian)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup black or pinto beans
- 1/2 cup salsa or pico de gallo
- 1/4 cup sour cream or guacamole
- 1/4 cup diced onions and peppers
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- Butter or oil for grilling
Instructions
- Prepare the Fillings: Cook your protein and season it with taco seasoning. Warm the rice and beans, and chop any vegetables.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat and layer the rice, protein, beans, cheese, salsa, and toppings in the center. Avoid overfilling.
- Fold the Burrito: Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure.
- Grill the Burrito: Heat a skillet with butter or oil. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook for 2–3 minutes until golden. Flip and repeat.
- Add the Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on the skillet. As it melts, roll the burrito to coat the outside evenly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let it cool slightly, then serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas, lean proteins, and reduced-fat cheese.
- Customize with your favorite fillings, such as scrambled eggs for breakfast or grilled veggies for a vegetarian option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best results.
