This cheesy quesarito is the ultimate comfort food—a fusion of a quesadilla and a burrito filled with seasoned beef, rice, cheese, and smoky chipotle sauce. Grilled until golden, it’s cheesy, saucy, and completely satisfying.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or cilantro-lime style)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chipotle sauce (or chipotle mayo)
  • ½ cup nacho cheese sauce (optional)
  • 1 cup black beans (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer until thickened.
  2. Heat a tortilla in a clean skillet and sprinkle cheese over half. Once cheese melts, fold tortilla to create a cheesy base.
  3. Unfold tortilla and layer beef, rice, sour cream, chipotle sauce, and optional beans or nacho cheese.
  4. Roll up tightly like a burrito, tucking in sides.
  5. Grill seam-side down until golden, then flip and crisp other side.
  6. Slice in half and serve hot with extra chipotle sauce or sour cream.

Notes

  • Swap beef for shredded chicken, steak, or a vegetarian bean filling.
  • Add jalapeños, peppers, or hot sauce for more heat.
  • Use low-carb tortillas and cauliflower rice for a keto-friendly version.
  • Toast seam-side down first to keep it from falling apart.
