How to Make Quesarito from Taco Bell

Step 1 – In a skillet or large cooking pan, cook ground beef over medium-high heat. When it is no longer pink, stir in the taco seasoning and the water.

Step 2 – Sauté onion in oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix rice into skillet, stirring often. When rice begins to brown, stir in chicken broth, salsa, garlic salt and cumin. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed to make seasoned rice.

Step 3 – Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl.  Whisk to combine all the ingredients. 

Step 4 – Spread nacho cheese sauce on 4 of the tortillas.  Leaving a 1 inch border on the outside of the tortillas. 

Step 5 – Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of the nacho cheese.

Step 6 – Top with the remaining tortillas and gently press down. Spread the taco meat and rice on top of the 2nd tortilla.

Step 7 – Drizzle the creamy chipotle sauce and sour cream on top. 

Step 9 – Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up like a burrito. 

• Step 10 – Heat a skillet over medium high heat and spread the olive oil onto the pan. 
• Step 11 – Cook each burrito for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
