Ingredients

Scale

Wrap and Butter

  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Cheese Filling

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Seasonings

  • 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 burrito.
  2. Butter tortillas: Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each flour tortilla to ensure a crispy, golden finish when grilled.
  3. Place first tortilla: Put one buttered tortilla on the skillet, with the buttered side down to start crisping.
  4. Add cheese: Evenly sprinkle half the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the tortilla to create the cheesy filling.
  5. Season cheese: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika evenly over the cheese to add depth and smoky flavor.
  6. Top with second tortilla: Place the other tortilla on top, butter side facing up, to complete the sandwich.
  7. Toast first side: Let the bottom tortilla cook for 3 to 4 minutes until it turns golden brown and crispy.
  8. Flip carefully: Use a spatula to flip the tortilla sandwich, cooking the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes to melt cheese and crisp.
  9. Remove and rest: Take the grilled cheese off the skillet and place it on a cutting board for slicing.
  10. Cut burrito: Slice the grilled cheese burrito into halves or quarters, based on your preference for serving size.
  11. Spread sour cream: Evenly apply sour cream on one cut side of each grilled cheese piece for a creamy contrast.
  12. Add guacamole: Spread guacamole on top of the sour cream layer for fresh avocado flavor.
  13. Top with salsa: Spoon salsa over the guacamole to add a zesty, tangy finish.
  14. Serve: Enjoy immediately while the burrito is warm, cheesy inside, and topped with cool, flavorful sauces.

Notes

  • Use medium heat to avoid burning the tortillas before the cheese melts.
  • Customize the cheese blend or toppings to suit your taste preferences.
  • For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the fillings or toppings.
  • Use fresh homemade guacamole for better flavor and texture.
  • This recipe works well with other types of cheese such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
  • Cut burritos carefully to avoid spilling melted cheese.
