Description

A quick and delicious Grilled Cheese Burrito that combines the crispy, buttery goodness of grilled tortillas with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, seasoned with garlic, onion powder, and paprika. Finished with creamy sour cream, fresh guacamole, and zesty salsa for a flavorful twist.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Grilled Cheese Burrito

  • 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 the skillet: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat to ensure even cooking and proper crispiness for the tortillas.
  2. Butter the tortillas: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly onto one side of each tortilla to create a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
  3. Place first tortilla in skillet: Put one buttered tortilla butter side down onto the hot skillet as the base for the burrito.
  4. Add cheeses: Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the tortilla to ensure a gooey, cheesy filling.
  5. Season: 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, butter side up to help crisp the top.
  7. Cook the bottom: Toast the bottom tortilla for 3-4 minutes until it turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip and cook the other side: Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
  9. Remove and cut: Take the grilled cheese burrito off the skillet and place on a cutting board. Cut into halves or quarters based on preference.
  10. Add sour cream: Spread sour cream evenly on one cut side of each piece for a creamy layer.
  11. Add guacamole: Spread guacamole on top of the sour cream, adding freshness and richness.
  12. Finish with salsa: Spoon salsa over the guacamole layer for a zingy, tangy flavor contrast.
  13. Serve immediately: Enjoy the combination of warm, melty grilled cheese and cool, flavorful toppings.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts fully.
  • Feel free to substitute cheeses with your preferred types for variation.
  • You can add cooked proteins or veggies inside for a heartier meal.
  • Serve with extra salsa or guacamole on the side for dipping.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispy texture.
