Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup corn (cooked or canned)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients for the Grilled Cheese Burrito and prepare the fillings by mixing the cooked rice, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning in a bowl.
- Assemble the burrito by placing the rice and bean mixture in the center of a tortilla, adding shredded cheese, folding the sides, and rolling it up tightly.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, then cook the burrito seam side down until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until cheese is melted and crispy.
- Slice the cooked burritos in half and serve warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
