Ingredients

Scale

Burrito Ingredients

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup guacamole
  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat to prepare for toasting the tortillas.
  2. Butter Tortillas: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly onto one side of each large flour tortilla to ensure a crisp and golden texture when cooked.
  3. Place First Tortilla: Position one buttered tortilla on the skillet, butter side down, as the base for the cheesy filling.
  4. Add Cheese: Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the tortilla to create a gooey, cheesy layer.
  5. Season the Cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over the cheese to enhance the flavor profile.
  6. Top with Second Tortilla: Place the second tortilla on top of the cheese layer, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.
  7. Toast Bottom Side: Let the bottom tortilla toast for 3 to 4 minutes until it turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip and Toast Other Side: Carefully flip the burrito and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes until it is equally golden and the cheese is melted through.
  9. Remove and Cool: Remove the grilled cheese burrito from the skillet and transfer it to a cutting board for slicing.
  10. Slice Burrito: Cut the burrito into halves or quarters depending on your serving preference.
  11. Apply Sour Cream: Spread sour cream evenly over one cut side of each burrito piece for a creamy texture contrast.
  12. Add Guacamole: Layer guacamole on top of the sour cream for freshness and richness.
  13. Top with Salsa: Add a spoonful of salsa over the guacamole for a tangy and zesty finish.
  14. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, crispy, cheesy burrito paired with cool, flavorful toppings.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas while ensuring the cheese melts properly.
  • You can substitute cheddar and mozzarella with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor.
  • For extra protein, add cooked chicken or beans inside the burrito before grilling.
  • If desired, wrap the burrito in foil after cooking to keep warm before serving.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the toppings are free from animal-based ingredients.
