Introduction

Quesaritos are the ultimate comfort food – a cheesy quesadilla wrapped around a beefy burrito filled with cilantro-lime rice, nacho cheese sauce, and sour cream. This copycat Taco Bell-style recipe is packed with flavor and surprisingly easy to make at home. Let’s dive into this cheesy goodness!

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef with chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
2. Prepare Cilantro-Lime Rice: In a bowl, fluff cooked white rice with a fork and mix in lime juice and chopped cilantro. Set aside.
3. Make the Quesadillas: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Place one flour tortilla in the pan, top with cheddar cheese, and cover with a second tortilla. Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat to make 4 quesadillas.
4. Assemble the Quesaritos: On a flat surface, layer one quesadilla with a scoop of cilantro-lime rice, beef mixture, nacho cheese sauce, and a dollop of sour cream. Roll it up like a burrito. Repeat for all.
5. Toast the Quesaritos: Reheat the skillet over medium-high heat and sear two Quesaritos at a time until the outside is golden and slightly crispy, 3–5 minutes per side.
