This Grilled Cheese Burrito with Seasoned Beef combines the cheesy crispiness of a grilled cheese with the bold flavors of a beef burrito. Packed with seasoned ground beef, melty cheese, and optional extras like beans or rice, it’s a hearty, customizable meal ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning or homemade mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (plus extra for crust)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup cooked rice (optional)
  • 1/2 cup refried beans or black beans (optional)
  • Hot sauce or salsa, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  2. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until coated and liquid reduces.
  3. Lay out tortillas. Fill each with cheese, seasoned beef, and any extras like beans or rice. Add sour cream and hot sauce.
  4. Fold in sides of tortilla and roll tightly into a burrito.
  5. In a clean skillet, sprinkle cheese directly onto the pan. Place burrito seam-side down on the cheese. Press gently and cook 2–3 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
  6. Flip and grill the other side until golden and crispy.
  7. Cool for 1 minute before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for variety.
  • Mix in chipotle, jalapeños, or sautéed onions/peppers for extra flavor.
  • For a low-carb version, use low-carb tortillas or lettuce wraps and skip the rice.
  • Reheat in a skillet or air fryer to keep the crispy crust.
  • Freeze wrapped burritos and reheat later for a quick meal.
