There’s only one way to make our burritos better – smother them in our incredible zesty cheese sauce and serve them with Spanish rice and your choice of beans. Choose beef or chicken.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked beef or chicken, Spanish rice, black beans, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. Mix well.

Prepare the Filling

Warm the flour tortillas in a pan or microwave. Place a generous amount of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Add a dollop of sour cream on top. Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla to enclose the filling.

Assemble the Burritos

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

Make the Cheese Sauce

Reduce heat to low and add the sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. Stir until melted and smooth. Add zesty seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Add the Cheeses

Place the assembled burritos on a serving plate. Generously pour the zesty cheese sauce over the top. Serve with extra sour cream and a side of Spanish rice.
