Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and have them ready. Grate the cheese and chop any additional fillings you plan to include. This prep will make the cooking process seamless and enjoyable.
- Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese in the center, add your chosen fillings, and top with more cheese. Fold in the sides and roll it up tightly, ensuring everything is enclosed.
- Grill the Burrito: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the burrito from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa or guacamole.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cheese and tortillas make a world of difference in flavor and texture.
- Don’t Overfill: Keep the fillings modest to avoid spillage while grilling.
- Experiment with Cheese: Try different cheese blends for varying flavors.
- Preheat the Skillet: A hot skillet ensures the burrito gets crispy while the cheese melts perfectly.
- Let It Rest: Allow the burrito to sit for a minute after grilling for easier slicing.
