22 - 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
23 - 1/2 cup sour cream
24 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Cook and crumble ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer uncovered for 3 to 5 minutes to blend flavors. Remove from heat and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add uncooked rice and stir frequently until rice begins to brown. Stir in chicken broth, chunky salsa, garlic salt, and cumin. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Whisk together sour cream, chipotle adobo sauce, chili powder, sugar, salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
04 - Warm tortillas by wrapping in damp paper towels and microwaving for 30 seconds. Heat nacho cheese sauce in the microwave until warm. Spread nacho cheese on 4 tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese over the cheese sauce, then cover with remaining tortillas and press gently to form cheese layers. Layer taco meat and Spanish rice onto the second tortilla. Drizzle chipotle sauce and sour cream over the filling. Fold in sides and roll each burrito tightly.
05 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Cook each burrito for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Serve immediately while warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking when browning the burritos.
