Ingredients
- 2 10-inch flour tortillas
- 8 oz ground beef (or turkey)
- ½ small onion, finely diced (optional)
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp kosher salt, plus pepper to taste
- ¼ cup taco sauce or salsa
- ½ cup cooked rice (optional)
- ½ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey jack cheese, divided (½ cup inside, ½ cup for grilling)
- 2 Tbsp sour cream or chipotle mayo (optional)
- lime wedges, cilantro, and hot sauce, for serving
Equipment
- nonstick skillet
- spatula
- mixing bowl for beef mixture
- measuring cups and spoons
- knife and cutting board
Method
- Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes. Stir in onion, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Add taco sauce and simmer 30 seconds.
- Warm tortillas until pliable.
- Fill tortillas: divide beef mixture between them, then add rice, beans, ½ cup cheese, and a little sour cream or mayo if using.
- Fold sides in and roll burritos tightly, seam side down.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup cheese in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. When cheese melts, place burrito seam-side up on the cheese. Cook 1–2 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Flip burrito to lightly crisp the other side, about 1 minute. Repeat with remaining burrito and cheese.
- Rest 1 minute, then slice. Serve with lime wedges, cilantro, and hot sauce.

Notes
For extra crunch, air fry cooked burritos at 400°F for 3–4 minutes. Swap the meat for shredded rotisserie chicken or chorizo. To make ahead, assemble without the outer cheese layer, wrap, and chill. Add the cheese crust when reheating or serving for best texture.
