09 -
4 large flour tortillas
10 -
3 tablespoons spicy mayonnaise
11 -
240 g fried rice
12 -
240 ml nacho cheese sauce
13 -
240 ml sour cream
14 -
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed
15 -
Optional: 120 g shredded Mexican cheese blend
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
02 -
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until thoroughly browned, breaking up clumps. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried oregano. Stir and cook for 1 minute to bloom spices.
03 -
Pour in tomato sauce, lower heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and moisture to reduce slightly.
04 -
Lay flour tortillas flat. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of spicy mayonnaise along the centre of each tortilla.
05 -
Top with a portion of fried rice, a drizzle of nacho cheese sauce, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips. Add a generous scoop of the prepared ground beef mixture.
06 -
Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortilla from the bottom, enclosing all the fillings.
07 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend directly onto the hot surface. Place the burrito seam-side down atop the cheese. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until a golden, crispy cheese crust forms.
08 -
Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by extra spicy mayonnaise for dipping if desired.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
For maximum crispiness, allow the cheese to melt and brown slightly before placing the burrito on it.
