Taco Bell Beef Quesorittos

Ingredients

• 24 oz lean ground beef (96/4)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup red enchilada sauce
• 1 cup fat-free cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup white rice, dry
• 1 cup chicken bone broth (Used to cook the rice.)
• cilantro (Chopped; amount not specified.)
• 0.5 lime lime juice (Squeezed fresh.)
• 8 low-calorie tortillas
• 8 tbsp nacho cheese (Use 2 tablespoons per quesoritto.)
• 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (May be substituted with light sour cream; used as a drizzle.)

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a pan, add the lean ground beef, and chop it up as it cooks. Add the taco seasoning packet and continue cooking until the beef is completely cooked.

2. 2

   Add the red enchilada sauce and fat-free cheddar cheese to the cooked beef. Mix until everything is completely combined.

3. 3

   Add the dry white rice and chicken bone broth to a pot. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the rice is cooked.

4. 4

   Add chopped cilantro and the juice of half a lime to the cooked rice. Mix until completely combined.

5. 5

   For each quesoritto, place one low-calorie tortilla on a work surface. Add 2 tablespoons of nacho cheese to the middle and spread it out.

6. 6

   Place a second tortilla on top of the nacho cheese and press it down.

7. 7

   Add one quarter of the cooked rice and one quarter of the cooked ground beef on top of the tortillas. Drizzle with non-fat Greek yogurt or light sour cream.

8. 8

   Fold the edges of the tortillas over the filling and roll everything into a burrito. Repeat to make 4 quesorittos.

9. 9

   Place each burrito in a hot pan and cook on both sides until golden brown.
