Preparation
  1. Cook the beef by browning ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes. Drain excess fat, season with taco seasoning and a splash of water, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Warm the tortillas in a hot skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pliable.
  3. Assemble the burrito by laying a tortilla flat, adding cooked rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, chipotle sauce, sour cream, and shredded cheeses.
  4. Roll the burrito by folding in the sides and rolling tightly away from you.
  5. Grill the burrito seam-side down in a skillet with cheese until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  6. Serve warm, optionally with salsa or guacamole, and store leftovers in an airtight container.
