Ingredients

Scale

1 cup long grain white rice

1 tablespoon avocado oil

1½ cups chicken broth

4 ounces tomato sauce

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon chicken bouillon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¾ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

¾ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon honey

2 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

¼ teaspoon salt

8 large tortillas

2 cups Mexican Rice

1 pound taco meat

1 cup tortilla strips

¾ cup nacho cheese sauce

½ cup sour cream

½ cup chipotle mayo

1 cup Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat avocado oil over medium heat. Add the rice and toast for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in chicken broth, tomato sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, chicken bouillon, and salt into the rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until rice is cooked.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat, then add chili powder, ground cumin, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until well mixed.
In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, honey, chipotle chiles, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt for the chipotle mayo.
Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Layer each tortilla with rice, taco meat, tortilla strips, nacho cheese, and Mexican cheese blend.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll tightly into a burrito. Grill each burrito in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve hot with sour cream and chipotle mayo on the side.
