→ Assembly
09 -
4 large flour tortillas
10 -
3 tablespoons spicy mayonnaise
11 -
240 g cooked fried rice
12 -
240 ml nacho cheese sauce
13 -
240 ml sour cream
14 -
60 g tortilla chips, crushed
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until softened and translucent.
02 -
Add ground beef to the skillet; cook until thoroughly browned, breaking up any large pieces. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir well to incorporate the spices and allow flavors to bloom for 1 minute.
03 -
Pour in tomato sauce, reduce heat, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to marry the flavors.
04 -
Lay each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of spicy mayonnaise down the center. Layer with fried rice, drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of crushed tortilla chips. Finish with a generous portion of seasoned beef mixture.
05 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to secure the filling. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, scatter shredded Mexican cheese blend directly onto the skillet. Place each burrito seam-side down onto the cheese and grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until a crisp, golden cheese crust forms.
06 -
Serve burritos immediately while hot, accompanied by extra spicy mayonnaise for dipping.
# Notes:
01 -
For maximum crispiness, avoid overfilling the burritos and ensure the seam is securely tucked before grilling.
