Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices of bread
  • 8 slices of cheddar, Swiss, or a blend of cheese
  • 1 cup of cooked, seasoned ground beef or refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil

Equipment

  • Large skillet or griddle
  • Butter knife
  • spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Lay 4 slices of bread on a clean surface. Top each slice with 2 slices of cheese, followed by a generous portion of cooked ground beef or refried beans.
  3. Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top to create 4 sandwiches.
  4. Melt the butter or heat the olive oil in the preheated skillet.
  5. Carefully transfer the sandwiches to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  6. Remove the grilled cheese burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

For best results, preheat the skillet or griddle to medium heat and cook the grilled cheese burritos for 2-3 minutes per side. This allows the bread to become crisp while the cheese melts and the filling heats through. Be patient and adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning. Let the burritos rest for a minute before serving to allow the cheese to set and the flavors to meld.
