Method
- Prepare the beef. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break the meat up. Sprinkle the granulated garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the beef.
- Let the beef cook in the spices until it is fully cooked, 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the chipotle sour cream. Add the sour cream, chipotle hot sauce, and cayenne pepper to a bowl and mix until well combined. Set aside.
- Assemble a burrito. Add 1/4 pound of beef to a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup chipotle sour cream, 1/4 cup rice, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/4 cup tortilla strips to the bowl. Fold the ingredients together until combined. Add the mixture to the middle of a tortilla. Then, 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 1/4 cup cheese in the shape of a line in the center of the nonstick skillet and place the burrito on top of the cheese.
- Carefully place a heavy cast iron skillet on top of the burrito. Let the burrito cook with the cheese for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese melts and begins to brown.
- Remove the cast iron skillet from the burrito and carefully flip the burrito. Cook the burrito 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.
