# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano, stirring for 1 minute. Pour in tomato sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
02 -
Lay flour tortillas flat. Spread about 1 tablespoon of spicy mayo down the center of each tortilla to create a flavor base.
03 -
Layer fried rice, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, and seasoned beef onto each tortilla, being careful not to overfill.
04 -
Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to keep fillings snug and prevent spills during cooking.
05 -
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Optionally, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese on the hot surface. Place burrito seam-side down on the cheese and cook 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until both sides are crispy.
06 -
Cut burritos in half and serve immediately while cheese crust is melty and crispy. Offer extra spicy mayo for dipping.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Roll burritos tightly to prevent filling from spilling during grilling.
02 -
Adjust cheese amount carefully to achieve a crispy crust without burning.
03 -
Use medium heat to allow cheese to crisp without burning before burrito is warmed through.
04 -
Seasoned beef filling can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to three days.
05 -
Allow assembled burritos to come to room temperature before grilling for even heating.
