Instructions

Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Lay a tortilla flat and layer with rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheese, chipotle sauce, and sour cream. Add lettuce if desired.
Roll the tortilla into a burrito, tucking in the sides as you go.
Sprinkle shredded cheese in a hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray or buttered. Place the burrito seam-side down on the cheese.
Grill until the cheese is golden and crispy, then flip to briefly toast the other side.
Repeat for all burritos and serve hot.

Notes

You can use store-bought chipotle sauce or make your own with mayo, chipotle peppers, and lime juice.
Swap beef for grilled chicken or beans for a vegetarian option.
Customize with jalapeños or tomatoes for added flavor.
