→ Assembly & Cheese
07 -
4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized, approx. 30 cm diameter)
08 -
120 g nacho cheese dip
09 -
120 g sour cream
10 -

Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, crumbling the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
02 -
Add water and taco seasoning mix to the cooked beef. Stir thoroughly and simmer for 4–5 minutes until most liquid has evaporated and the mixture becomes saucy.
03 -
Stir in the warmed sweet corn kernels until evenly distributed, then remove the pan from the heat.
04 -
Warm the flour tortillas briefly in the microwave for about 1 minute, turning them halfway, or heat individually in a dry skillet until pliable.
05 -
Lay each tortilla flat. Place a portion of seasoned beef and corn mixture in the centre. Add warmed Mexican rice, diced tomatoes, nacho cheese dip, sour cream, shredded Colby Jack cheese, and a handful of red tortilla strips over the filling.
06 -
Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly to form a sealed burrito, leaving about 3–5 cm border at the edges.
07 -
Spray a large skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium heat. Arrange a small mound of shredded Colby Jack cheese in the skillet to form a circle. Let it melt and begin to bubble but not brown.
08 -
Place a rolled burrito edge-on at one side of the melted cheese, then carefully roll so the cheese wraps around the exterior. Remove once evenly coated and cheese is golden and crisp.
09 -
Repeat cheese melting and rolling for remaining burritos. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly minced cilantro if desired.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Ensure all hot components—beef, rice, and corn—are warmed before assembling for optimal texture and flavour.
02 -
Prepared ingredients can be refrigerated separately for advance assembly and quick serving.
03 -
If available, use a cast iron sandwich press or griddle for an extra crispy cheese layer.
