This dish reflects the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, combining smoky chipotle peppers with tender chicken. The grilled cheese burrito variation adds a comforting twist, making it a popular choice for both casual meals and gatherings.

1

Start by heating the Blackstone griddle.

2

Add a little oil to the griddle to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.

3

Place 1 lb of ground beef on the griddle and break it apart.

4

Cook the beef for about 5 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally.

5

Once the beef is browned, add the entire packet of Taco Bell seasoning and mix well.

6

Set the seasoned beef aside on the griddle.

7

Warm up 2 large tortillas on the griddle until hot, then remove them.

8

Begin building the burrito by laying down some cheese on the griddle.

9

Place one tortilla on top of the cheese, then add a portion of the cooked beef, Spanish rice, tortilla strips, Tostitos cheese, and sour cream.

10

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.

11

Press the burrito down onto the cheese on the griddle to help it stick and get crispy.

12

Cook the burrito for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown, flipping it halfway through to crisp both sides.
