Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking into small pieces until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season the Beef: Stir in taco seasoning and a splash of water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Cook white rice according to package instructions. Stir in a tablespoon of butter and taco seasoning.
  4. Warm Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds on each side to soften.
  5. Assemble Burritos: Layer rice, seasoned beef, cheese sauce, cheese blend, sour cream, chipotle sauce, and crispy strips on each tortilla.
  6. Fold Burritos: Tuck in sides and roll tightly from the bottom.
  7. Heat Burritos (Optional): Microwave for 30-45 seconds, bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or air fry at 375°F for 6-8 minutes.
  8. Serve: Slice burritos in half or serve whole. Pair with sides like chips and salsa.
