Instructions
Step 1:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice and chile serrano. Fry until golden. Stir in tomato paste.
Step 2:
Pour in water. Season with bouillons, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt. Simmer, cover, and cook on low for 20 minutes.
Step 3:
In another pan, cook ground beef, diced onion, and tomato paste over medium-high heat. Season with taco spices. Cook for 7 minutes.
Step 4:
Drain excess grease, leaving 2 tablespoons. Stir in flour. Add ½ cup water. Cook until thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 5:
Blend sour cream, mayo, chipotle peppers, jalapeño juice, chipotle powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt into a smooth chipotle sauce.
Step 6:
Warm tortillas. Layer shredded cheese, Fritos, Spanish rice, beef, nacho cheese, chipotle sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. Roll tightly.
Step 7:
Heat a griddle. Sprinkle shredded queso Oaxaca and cheddar directly onto the pan. Place burrito seam-side down onto the melting cheese.
Step 8:
Once cheese crisps, roll the burrito to wrap it in the cheesy crust. Grill until golden on all sides.
Notes
-
Warming your tortillas prevents tearing when rolling.
-
Adjust spice levels by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers.
-
Use fresh-shredded cheese for the best melt and flavor.
-
Serve immediately for the crispiest outside and meltiest inside.
-
Swap fillings based on your mood — chicken, beans, or even breakfast toppings work great!
