How to Make Sloppy Joe Grilled Burritos

1. Prepare Ground Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine lean ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and dry mustard, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
2. Brown Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the seasoned ground beef for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
3. Add Vegetables: Add chopped onions, red bell peppers, and green bell peppers to the skillet with the browned beef. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the vegetables are softened. Keep the mixture warm.
4. Prepare Sloppy Joe Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic salt until well blended. Pour the sauce over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat evenly. Keep warm.
5. Assemble Burritos: Lay out large flour tortillas and spoon the beef and vegetable mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with cheese sauce and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Fold and Grill: Fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling to form burritos. In a skillet over medium heat, add oil and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for about 1 minute per side, until golden brown and crispy.
7. Serve Hot: Transfer the grilled burritos to serving plates and serve hot, garnished with additional shredded cheese or your favorite toppings, if desired.
