Grilled Cheese Burritos combine the melty goodness of cheese with the crispy warmth of grilled tortillas, packed with your choice of protein and fresh veggies for a quick, versatile, and kid-friendly comfort meal perfect for lunch, dinner, or snack time.

Ingredients

Tortillas and Cheese

  • Flour tortillas (soft, sturdy, enough to hold fillings)
  • Cheese blend (cheddar and Monterey Jack shredded, about 1 to 1½ cups)

Protein Options

  • Cooked shredded chicken, beef, or beans (about 1 to 1½ cups)

Fresh Vegetables

  • Diced tomatoes (½ cup)
  • Diced onions (¼ cup)
  • Bell peppers, diced (½ cup)

Spices and Herbs

  • Ground cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (2 tablespoons)

For Grilling

  • Butter or oil (2 tablespoons, for grilling)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Shred the cheese, dice the veggies, and cook your choice of protein. Having everything ready makes the cooking process smooth and easy.
  2. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a tortilla flat and evenly layer shredded cheese, cooked protein, diced vegetables, and seasonings in the center. Avoid overfilling to prevent bursting or soggy tortillas.
  3. Fold and Roll: Fold the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from one end to the other, ensuring a compact burrito.
  4. Grill Until Golden: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter or oil, and place the burrito seam side down first. Grill each side 2-3 minutes until the tortilla is golden brown, crispy, and cheese is melted inside.
  5. Slice and Serve: Remove from skillet, let the burrito rest briefly, then slice in half to reveal the melty, cheesy filling before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cheese for the best melt and flavor.
  • Do not overfill to avoid bursting or soggy texture.
  • Grill over medium heat to prevent burning or under-crisping.
  • Lightly butter or oil the outside of the tortilla for a golden crust.
  • Allow burritos to rest after grilling so fillings set and don’t spill.
