Quesaritos (Taco Bell Copycat)
Burritos stuffed with taco meat, cheese, rice, sour cream and a spicy sauce, wrapped with a cheesy quesadilla!
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 7.6 oz Box of Old El Paso Cheesy Mexican Rice Or any other kind of rice you like
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 oz Taco Seasoning
- 1/2 Cup Water
- 8 Count Package of Burrito-Sized Flour Tortillas
- 8 oz Grated Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 6-8 tbsp Sour Cream
- 6-8 tbsp Taco Bell Brand Spicy Ranchero Sauce
Cheese Sauce
- 12 oz Evaporated Milk
- 16 oz Velveeta Cheese
- 8 oz Grated Pepper Jack Cheese
- 7 oz Can of Diced Chilies
Instructions
- Make the rice according to the package directions.
- While the rice cooks, brown the ground beef. Drain the excess grease and add in the taco seasoning and water. Stir and let simmer.
Cheese Sauce
- To make the cheese sauce, place all of the ingredients into a saucepan and stir over low heat until everything is melted. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to thicken up.
Making the Quesaritos
- In a large skillet over medium heat, place one tortilla and cover it with a layer of cheese. Put another tortilla on top of it and flip. You only want it to cook long enough to melt the cheese. If it gets crispy, it will not be easy to roll. Repeat this step until you have 4 quesadillas.
- Place the sour cream, the Spicy Ranchero Sauce, the taco meat, cheese sauce and rice on the tortillas. Then carefully roll them up and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is very customizable. The fillings for these can be anything you like!
This recipe makes a lot of cheese sauce! We like to use the extra for nachos.
To make it even easier, you could use a jar of store-bought queso.
This recipe makes 4 very large burritos! I can barely eat half of one. The leftovers are great though. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer.
