How to Make Cheesy Grilled Cheese Burrito
Prep Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients so everything is within reach. Chop green onions and have your salsa ready to go for quick assembly.
Fill the Tortilla: Lay out one tortilla flat and spread refried beans across the center. Layer with a generous amount of cheese, followed by chopped green onions and salsa.
Roll It Up!: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla before rolling it tightly from the bottom up. Ensure it’s snug but not overly tight; we want melty filling without any spills!
Grill Until Golden Brown: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter until melted. Place your burrito seam-side down on the skillet, cooking until golden brown—about 3-4 minutes per side.
Add More Cheese (Optional): If you’re feeling indulgent (who isn’t?), sprinkle more cheese on top of the burrito during grilling for an extra gooey finish.
Serve It Hot!: Once both sides are nicely browned and crisped up, remove it from the skillet. Slice it diagonally for that Instagram-worthy look! Serve with sour cream on top or on the side for dipping.
