Description
A delicious Taco Bell-inspired mashup of quesadilla and burrito featuring seasoned beef, melted cheese, and rice wrapped in a crispy tortilla.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (85% lean recommended)
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
- Sour cream, for serving (optional)
- Salsa, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and the amount of water directed on the packet (or about 1/4 cup if using dry seasoning). Stir in the cooked rice until well combined. Heat through for 1–2 minutes.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat and add a layer of the beef-and-rice mixture, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly, folding in the edges as you go to form a wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the rolled quesaritos seam side down. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Slice in half and serve with sour cream and salsa on the side.
Notes
For a milder sodium profile, use low-sodium taco seasoning. Wrap tortillas briefly in the microwave to prevent cracking while rolling.
