Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water, mixing thoroughly. Let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  3. Mix the cooked rice with the seasoned beef until well incorporated, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon the beef and rice mixture into the center, leaving space around the edges.
  5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream for a colorful display.
  6. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up from the bottom to the top, tucking in the filling.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place the burrito seam-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes.
  8. Remove the burrito from the skillet, cut in half, and serve hot with optional toppings.
