Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound lean ground beef 90% lean
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon Taco Bell taco seasoning
  • 8.8 ounces ready-to-serve Spanish rice
  • 3 tablespoons nacho cheese sauce
  • 6 flour tortillas 8 inches
  • 3 tablespoons Taco Bell chipotle sauce
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend divided
  • 1/2 cup tortilla strips divided
  • Extra chipotle sauce nacho cheese sauce and reduced-fat sour cream, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef; cook until browned, 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off excess grease. In a small bowl, combine water and taco seasoning; stir into the cooked meat. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thickened, 9-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, cook the Spanish rice according to package directions; set aside. Warm the nacho cheese sauce according to package directions; set aside.
  • To assemble the burritos, arrange flour tortillas on a flat surface. Spread 1/2 tablespoon chipotle sauce down the center of each tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup cooked rice and 1/4 cup taco meat. Drizzle each with 1/2 tablespoon nacho cheese sauce and 2 teaspoons sour cream. Sprinkle each with a few tablespoons shredded cheese and crushed tortilla strips. Fold the sides and ends of the tortillas over the filling. Roll until sealed; tuck in the sides.
  • Working in batches, in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, arrange about 3-4 tablespoons shredded cheese in a line down the center of the pan, the same length as the burrito. Place a burrito on the cheese, seam-side down. Once the cheese is bubbly, carefully flip the burrito over. Cook until the bottom is browned, 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining burritos.
  • Serve with extra chipotle sauce, nacho cheese sauce and sour cream, if desired.
