Ingredients
– 4 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
– 1 cup cooked and seasoned ground beef, chicken, or beans (optional)

– 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Salsa or hot sauce (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Making the Grilled Cheese Burrito is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the shredded cheese, cooked meat (if using), and diced vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Assemble the Burrito: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon some filling onto the center of the tortilla.
4. Fold the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a tight burrito.
5. Butter the Skillet: Add a tablespoon of butter to the heated skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom.
6. Grill the Burrito: Place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
7. Flip and Grill: Carefully flip the burrito using tongs and grill the other side for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
8. Remove and Cool: Once cooked, transfer the burrito to a plate. Let it cool slightly before cutting it in half.
9. Serve: Serve warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side for dipping.
