Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground beef Use lean ground beef for less greasiness
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing
  • 1 medium Onion, diced Sautéed until soft
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 cup Tomato sauce For adding flavor and moisture
For the Assembly
  • 4 large Flour tortillas To wrap the filling
  • 1 cup Spicy mayo For spreading on tortillas
  • 2 cups Fried rice Can substitute with quinoa or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup Nacho cheese sauce Drizzle on top
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream To add creaminess

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for about five minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Mix in the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, ensuring it’s browned with no pink remaining.
  4. Season the beef with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir for a minute to incorporate the spices.
  5. Pour in the tomato sauce and simmer on low heat for five minutes until the sauce thickens.
Assembly
  1. Spread spicy mayo onto the center of each tortilla.
  2. Layer on fried rice, drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, add sour cream, and sprinkle with tortilla chips.
  3. Generously pile the seasoned beef on top.
  4. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it from the bottom to enclose the filling tightly.
  5. On a non-stick skillet set to medium, sprinkle a little shredded Mexican cheese. Place the burrito seam side down and grill for about two minutes per side, until golden.
Serving
  1. Slice and serve your burrito whole, offering extra spicy mayo on the side.

Notes

For best results, let the beef caramelize before rushing. Customize your fillings to suit your taste, swapping in different proteins or grains as preferred. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
