Instructions
Cook the Beef Mixture:

- Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are tender. Add garlic and diced green chilies, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Drain any excess grease, return the mixture to the pan, and sprinkle with taco seasoning mix. Add water and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Cook the Rice:
- Prepare the Knorr® Mexican rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
Heat the Nacho Cheese Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the nacho cheese sauce over low heat until warm and smooth.
Assemble the Burritos:
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
- Layer each tortilla with the cooked beef mixture, a spoonful of nacho cheese sauce, a scoop of rice, shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a handful of tortilla strips.
Wrap the Burritos:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Grill the Burritos (Optional):
- For a crispy finish, grill the burritos on a hot skillet or stovetop grill pan for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and lightly crisp.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve warm and enjoy these cheesy, beefy burritos right away!
