Grilled Cheeseburger Burritos


Grilled Cheeseburger Burritos


I had seen a Kraft recipe for this but I didn't like the ingredients because it was too close to a taco recipe I have. So I Googled some additional recipes and as usual combined three or four other recipes to make this very yummy and must I say ... restaurant style burrito! This is great for a quick meal as all the components can be made ahead an assembled and grilled when your ready to eat!

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Adobo (or garlic powder and pepper)
2 tablespoons of hot sauce (I used Chalula)
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon cumin
1 small onion
1 cup medium salsa
1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
pepper and salt to taste

1 pkg Knorr Fiesta Sides Mexican Rice (prepared per package instructions)

10 flour tortillas (the small ones)

Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Directions

Brown ground beef in large skillet with the Worcestershire sauce, Adobo, Chalula, ketchup, cumin, and onion. Once the beef is browned add the salsa, cheddar cheese and salt and pepper to the beef and simmer for 5 minutes.
 

Lay out a room temperature tortilla. Add a few heaping tablespoons of the beef mixture. Spread some of the rice on top of the beef along with some slices of tomato.  Roll up tortilla burrito-style and place wraps, seam down on preheated grill pan. Grill just long enough to seal the burrito and get a nice grill mark. Flip the burrito and grill the other side.  Remove from the grill and serve with salsa, sour cream, etc.

(Timesaver Tip: Mix the beef and rice together and place in the fridge until you are ready to prepare the burritos in order to save time. Warm up the mixture in the microwave before assembly).

(Wrapping Tip: When rolling your burrito, fold in the right and left sides first - creating a pseudo fan shape where the top of the tortilla is smaller than the bottom. Roll the burrito from the bottom up - tucking in the sides as needed. Roll the burrito around until the seam is down and then place on the grill. seam down.)
