Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook it until it’s browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once fully cooked, mix in the taco seasoning along with ½ cup of water. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens and becomes irresistibly flavorful.

While your beef is cooking, prepare 1 cup of white rice according to the package instructions. For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of butter or a splash of lime juice during the cooking process.

Collect all your prepared ingredients to ensure a smooth and efficient assembly process. Warm up the flour tortillas either in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable. Place a tortilla flat and spread a generous amount of nacho cheese sauce in the center. Add a scoop of the seasoned beef, followed by rice, shredded cheddar cheese, and crunchy tortilla strips. Top it all off with a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

To wrap your burrito like a pro, fold the sides of the tortilla inward first. Then, roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the delicious fillings are securely tucked inside. For a restaurant-style finish, you can lightly sear the burrito in a skillet with a touch of oil until it’s golden and crispy on the outside.

If you want to take your homemade burrito to the next level, consider creating your own taco seasoning blend. Mix together 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Store this blend in an airtight container for future use.
