Method
- Prepare the seasoned beef. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart. Sprinkle the granulated garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper over the beef.
- Cook the beef in the spices until it is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the heat and set it aside.
- Prepare the chipotle sour cream. Combine the sour cream, chipotle hot sauce, and cayenne pepper in a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Assemble a burrito. In a large bowl, combine ¼ pound of beef, ¼ cup chipotle sour cream, ¼ cup rice, ½ cup cheese, and ¼ cup tortilla strips. Mix the ingredients together until combined. Add the mixture to the middle of a tortilla. Fold in 2 sides and roll it into a burrito.
- Cook the burrito. Heat the same large nonstick skillet over medium/high heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil to the skillet. When the olive oil is fragrant, add ¼ cup cheese in a line in the center of the skillet and place the burrito on top of the cheese.
- Carefully place a heavy cast iron skillet on top of the burrito. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
- Remove the cast iron skillet and carefully flip the burrito. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until browned on the opposite side. Remove the burrito from the skillet.
- Repeat steps 5-7 until all 4 burritos are assembled and cooked.
- Let the burrito rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes
Mixing all the ingredients together before wrapping helps the cheese melt best. You can also layer the ingredients if you prefer. Be sure to use extra-large burrito-sized tortillas.
