Description
Make a homemade Taco Bell Grilled Stuffed Burrito with rice, beans, cheese & Baja sauce—grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
-
6 flour tortillas (10‑inch)
-
2 cups cooked rice
-
1 ½ cups pico de gallo
-
~5 oz Baja sauce (store‑bought)
-
2 cups Mexican cheese (shredded; a 3‑cheese blend works well)
-
15 oz refried beans (heated per can instructions)
Instructions
-
Warm and prep tortillas
Warm the flour tortillas slightly so they are pliable and won’t rip when folded. You can microwave them for 15‑20 seconds or wrap in foil and heat in oven briefly. -
Heat fillings
Warm the refried beans per the instructions on the can. Ensure rice is hot if previously cooked, and have your pico de gallo and Baja sauce ready. -
Assemble burritos
Lay each tortilla flat. In the center (but slightly toward you), layer approximately: refried beans, cooked rice, pico de gallo, a drizzle of Baja sauce, and shredded Mexican cheese. Be careful not to overfill. -
Fold burrito
Fold in the sides, then roll from the edge closest to you, tucking in the filling as you go, to make a tight, sealed burrito. -
Grill the burrito
Use a griddle press, skillet, or panini press. If you have a grill press, preheat to ~425°F (~218°C). Grill each burrito for about 25‑30 seconds per side, or until outside is lightly golden and cheese is melted inside. If using a skillet, press down gently; flip and press to get grill marks or browning. -
Serve
Remove burritos, let rest for a minute so filling settles. Slice if desired, serve hot. Optionally with extra Baja sauce, salsa, or sour cream.
Notes
Don’t overstuff, or burrito will burst open or not seal well.
Warm tortillas first to avoid cracking.
Use a 3‑cheese Mexican blend for better melt.
Monitor grill/skillet carefully—outside browns quickly and filling might need just enough time to get hot.
Let rest briefly after grilling so ingredients settle and burrito slices cleanly.
