Ingredients
  

For the Quesarito
  • 2 large large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or cilantro-lime rice works great)
  • 1 cup seasoned ground beef (or your preferred protein)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or cheddar)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative)
  • 1/4 cup nacho cheese sauce (for that true Taco Bell flavor!)
  • 1/4 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
  • Avocado
  • jalapeños
  • hot sauce for an extra kick

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your seasoned ground beef. If you’re using chicken or another protein, ensure it’s cooked to perfection. Warm the rice so it’s fluffy and ready to go.
  2. If you're using nacho cheese sauce, warm it up slightly in a microwave-safe bowl.
Assembly
  1. Place one large tortilla on a flat surface. Sprinkle a generous portion of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, covering the entire surface.
  2. Layer the cooked rice, seasoned ground beef, and a dollop of sour cream in the center of the tortilla, followed by diced tomatoes and green onions.
  3. Gently fold the tortilla’s sides inwards, then carefully roll the bottom up over the filling. Continue rolling until you have a sealed burrito-like shape.
Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Place the rolled Quesarito seam-side down in the skillet.
  2. Cook for about 2-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
Serving
  1. Plate your Quesarito and drizzle with nacho cheese sauce or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

Don’t skimp on the cheese—cheesy goodness is key! Feel free to get creative with your fillings; black beans, corn, and avocados add great flavors and textures. Avoid overstuffing for easier cooking!
