Ingredients:

• 1 lb. ground beef or chicken
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 cup cooked rice
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup corn kernels
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions:

1. Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add the taco seasoning and water, stirring until well combined. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
2. Prepare the Tortillas: Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are warm and pliable.
3. Assemble the Burritos: On each tortilla, spread a layer of sour cream and salsa. Add a portion of the cooked meat, rice, black beans, corn, and a generous amount of shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
4. Fold the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, making sure to keep everything tightly wrapped.
5. Grill the Burritos: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.
6. Serve: Serve the grilled cheese burritos hot, with extra salsa and sour cream on the side for dipping.
