- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and chipotle sauce. Mix until well blended.
- Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the beef and rice mixture onto the center.
- Add a few spoonfuls of the cheese mixture on top of the beef.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling completely.
- In a skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Cook the burrito seam side down for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve hot, slice in half, and enjoy your cheesy burrito creation!
