Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 4 slices of American cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup guacamole
- Butter for grilling
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace by laying out the tortillas, cheeses, sour cream, and guacamole.
- Lay out a large flour tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or work surface.
- Spread a thin layer of sour cream in the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space from the edges.
- Add 2 slices of American cheese directly on top of the sour cream.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the American cheese slices.
- Add a dollop of guacamole in the center of the cheese layer.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the bottom of the tortilla up and over the filling, creating a tight burrito-style wrap.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the cooking surface.
- Place the wrapped burrito seam-side down on the heated, buttered surface.
- Grill for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, allowing the cheese to start melting.
- Carefully flip the burrito and grill the other side for an additional 2 minutes until golden and the cheese is completely melted.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve immediately.
- Repeat the process for the second burrito, adding more butter to the pan if needed.
Tips
- Make sure your skillet or griddle is at medium heat to achieve that perfect golden-brown crust without burning the tortilla.
- Use room temperature butter for even coating and better browning.
- Press down gently on the burrito while grilling to ensure a crispy exterior and even melting of the cheese.
- For extra crispiness, you can use a panini press or weighted skillet to apply gentle pressure while cooking.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations or add protein like grilled chicken or ground beef for variety.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
- If preparing multiple burritos, keep the first batch warm in a low-temperature oven while cooking the rest.
