1 cup rice (white or Mexican rice)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp cumin
4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
1 cup nacho cheese sauce
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Stir in taco seasoning and water according to seasoning instructions.
Prepare the Rice: Sauté chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add rice and cook until slightly browned. Stir in chicken broth, salsa, garlic salt, and cumin. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
Assemble the Quesaritos: Lay tortillas flat. Spread nacho cheese sauce on 4 tortillas, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sauce.
Layer the Ingredients: Place a second tortilla on top, press gently, and then layer with the seasoned beef and rice mixture.
Add Sauces: Drizzle sour cream and chipotle sauce over the beef and rice.
Cook and Serve: Carefully fold the tortillas, heat a pan over medium heat, and grill the Quesarito for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Slice and serve!
Customize with different meats (chicken, turkey, or steak) or make it vegetarian by adding refried beans or grilled veggies.
Spice it up by adding jalapeños or your favorite hot sauce to the filling.
For a burst of fresh flavor, squeeze lime juice on top before serving.
