Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds ground beef
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama seasoning (or substitute with Cajun seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1-ounce packet taco seasoning mix
Vegetables and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chilies
- 1 15-ounce can nacho cheese sauce
- 1 5.6-ounce package Knorr® Mexican rice (or similar)
- 3 cups Colby jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 3.5-ounce package Santa Fe-style tortilla strips
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
Instructions
- Sizzle ground beef and onions in a skillet over medium heat, seasoning with Slap Ya Mama, black pepper, cumin, cayenne, and red pepper flakes until meat browns and onions soften.
- Incorporate minced garlic and green chilies, cooking for 2 minutes to enhance aromatic flavors.
- Eliminate excess grease, then sprinkle taco seasoning. Pour water and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, allowing spices to meld.
- Prepare Knorr® Mexican rice according to package directions, then set aside for burrito assembly.
- Gently warm nacho cheese sauce in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and velvety.
- Soften tortillas in microwave or skillet for maximum pliability.
- Construct burrito layers: spread beef mixture, drizzle nacho cheese, add rice, sprinkle shredded cheese, crown with sour cream and crunchy tortilla strips.
- Fold tortilla sides inward, then tightly roll from bottom to create compact burrito shape.
- Achieve crispy exterior by grilling burritos on hot skillet or grill pan for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisped.
- Serve immediately while warm for optimal flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Spice Adjustments: Customize the heat level by reducing or increasing the cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to suit personal taste preferences.
- Lean Protein Option: Substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter, lower-fat version of the burrito.
- Vegetarian Transformation: Replace beef with black beans, roasted vegetables, or plant-based meat alternatives to create a delicious vegetarian-friendly burrito.
- Meal Prep Hack: Prepare the beef mixture and rice in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator for quick assembly during busy weeknights.
