Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed and drained
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 ounces tomato sauce
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Mexican rice (prepared)
- 1 pound taco meat (prepared)
- 1 cup tortilla strips
- ¾ cup nacho cheese sauce (warmed)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup chipotle mayo (prepared)
- 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat avocado oil and toast the rice until it turns bright white. Add chicken broth, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Stir and simmer for 25 minutes, covering the skillet. After cooking, let the rice sit for 10 minutes, then fluff it up.
- In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks. Once browned, drain excess grease. Add taco seasoning and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Blend mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, chipotle chiles, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt until smooth.
- Layer the rice, taco meat, tortilla strips, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and chipotle mayo onto each tortilla. Roll up the burritos and set them seam-side down.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle a handful of shredded Mexican cheese in the skillet and let it melt. Place the burrito seam-side down onto the cheese and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the burrito and sprinkle more cheese onto the skillet, cooking the other side for 2 more minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Garnish with extra chipotle mayo and enjoy!
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to restore crispiness.
