Instructions
- Make the Chipotle Crema: Add all chipotle crema ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning to your liking and set aside.
- Make the Nacho Cheese: In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add flour and whisk until no lumps remain. Whisk in milk until fully combined, and continue whisking for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add cheeses, stirring until melted. Add pickled jalapeño juice, cayenne, and salt to taste. Set aside.
- Make the Taco Beef: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef in large chunks, then break it into small pieces. Add taco seasoning and follow the packet instructions (adding water if required).
- Make the Cilantro Lime Rice: Toss the rice with butter, lime juice, lime zest, and cilantro.
- Assemble, Wrap, and Bake: Spread nacho cheese on a flour tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and add another tortilla on top. Press to seal. Add 1/6 of cilantro lime rice, nacho cheese, taco beef, chipotle crema, Greek yogurt, and cilantro to the center-lower-third of each tortilla. Roll up the burrito carefully, folding in the sides as you go.
- Bake, Sear, and Serve: Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake burritos wrapped in parchment paper for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, sear in a hot skillet on both sides until golden brown, and serve with extra chipotle crema and Greek yogurt.
