Ingredients you need

• Lean ground beef- I like to use lean ground beef for this recipe but you can also use ground turkey, cooked chicken or cooked steak.

  taco bell version.  You can also use a homemade taco seasoning blend.
• Rico’s nacho cheese sauce-  You can use any nacho cheese sauce you like.  
• Prepared mexican rice-  I just used a box mix from the store for either mexican rice or spanish rice.
• Mayonnaise-  This is the base for the chipotle sauce.
• Chipotle sauce- From a can of chipotles in adobo.
• Sour cream-  This is optional of course but it is in the original.  I like to use a reduced-fat sour cream.

• Burrito size tortillas-  You need the burrito-sized flour tortillas for these huge burritos.

Of course!  You can order this at Taco Bell with seasoned ground beef, grilled chicken or steak so you could easily use any of those in these delicious burritos.  You can also skip the meat and just use refried beans or black beans.

You sure can! Leave out any ingredients you don’t like or add anything you do! You can add lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, salsa, guacamole, anything!
