4 large flour tortillas
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions

1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
2. Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
3. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them flexible.
4. Lay each tortilla flat and layer with a scoop of rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.
5. Add any optional toppings like green onions, jalapeños, or crushed chips.
6. Fold in the sides and roll the tortilla into a burrito.
7. Place the burritos seam-side down on a heated skillet and toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
8. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra meltiness, wrap burritos in foil and bake at 375°F for 5–10 minutes.
These reheat beautifully—wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 60–90 seconds.
