Description
The Cheesy Quesarito is a fusion of a quesadilla and a burrito, filled with seasoned beef, rice, nacho cheese, and sour cream, all wrapped inside a cheesy, crispy quesadilla shell. It’s indulgent, flavorful, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup nacho cheese sauce
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for toasting)
Instructions
- Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Stir and simmer until thickened. Set aside.
- In a separate skillet, place a tortilla flat and sprinkle shredded cheese over one half. Fold over and toast with butter or oil until golden and cheese is melted. Repeat for the second tortilla.
- Carefully open each quesadilla and layer with cooked rice, seasoned beef, nacho cheese sauce, and a spoonful of sour cream.
- Roll each quesadilla up burrito-style: tuck in the sides and roll tightly.
- Place the rolled Quesaritos seam-side down in the skillet to toast again and seal. Serve hot.
Notes
- Swap ground beef for shredded chicken, black beans, or grilled veggies for variations.
- Add jalapeños, salsa, or crushed tortilla chips for extra flavor or texture.
- Warm tortillas before use to prevent tearing.
- Store leftovers in foil or airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in skillet for crisp texture or microwave with a damp paper towel.
