Ingredients
For the Quesarito:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup nacho cheese sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Directions
1. Prepare the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Prepare the Quesadilla Layer:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over it.
- Place a second tortilla on top of the cheese, pressing down lightly.
- Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cheese to make two quesadillas.
3. Assemble the Quesarito:
- Lay one quesadilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1/4 cup of nacho cheese sauce over the top.
- Add a layer of cooked rice, followed by a generous portion of the seasoned ground beef.
- Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with crushed Doritos.
- Add shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, and chopped cilantro (if using) on top of the Doritos.
- Carefully roll up the quesadilla, burrito-style, tucking in the sides as you go to form a tight wrap.
4. Grill the Quesarito:
- Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the quesarito seam-side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Serve:
- Slice the Doritos Locos Quesarito Supreme in half and serve immediately, with extra sour cream, nacho cheese sauce, and crushed Doritos on the side if desired.
