Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 0.25 cup Water
  • 1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 0.25 cup Onion, chopped
  • 1.5 cups Uncooked White Rice
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Chunky Salsa
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Chipotle Sauce from can of Adobo Peppers
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
  • 0.25 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 8 units Flour Tortillas, burrito size
  • 1 cup Nacho Cheese Sauce
  • 2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
  • 0.5 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Heat for 3-5 minutes until well mixed and heated through. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the uncooked white rice and cook until it starts to brown, stirring frequently. Then, stir in chicken broth, chunky salsa, garlic salt, and cumin. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine all chipotle sauce ingredients. Whisk together until smooth. Set aside.
  • Microwave tortillas wrapped in damp paper towels for 30 seconds to warm them up. Warm the nacho cheese sauce in the microwave for about 30 seconds as well.
  • Spread the nacho cheese sauce on 4 tortillas, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the nacho cheese. Place the remaining tortillas on top and press gently to stick them together.
  • On the second tortilla, layer taco meat and Spanish rice.
  • Drizzle chipotle sauce and sour cream on top of the meat and rice layers.
  • Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up tightly to form burritos.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each burrito for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Cheesy Quesarito!

Notes

For a spicier kick, add more chipotle sauce to the chipotle sauce mixture.
