| 1 tsp | 5 ml | Chili powder |
| 1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml | Ground cumin |
| 1/2 tsp | 2.5 ml | Smoked paprika |
| — | Kosher salt | |
| — | Freshly ground black pepper | |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | Cooked white rice |
| 1 tbsp | 15 ml | Lime juice |
| 2 tbsp | 30 ml | Finely chopped cilantro |
| 8 | Large flour tortillas | |
| 1 1/2 cups | 360 ml | Shredded Cheddar |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | Nacho Cheese Sauce |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | Sour cream |
Instructions
- Cook beef: Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat then add beef, chili powder, cumin and paprika. Season with salt and pepper and cook until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.
- Make cilantro-lime rice: In a medium bowl, toss together white rice, lime juice and cilantro using a fork. Set aside.
- Make quesadillas: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add a tortilla and sprinkle cheddar cheese all over. Top with a second flour tortilla and cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas and cheddar to make 4 quesadillas.
- Build quesaritos: Working on a cutting board or plate, top the center of one quesadilla with some rice, meat, nacho cheese sauce and sour cream. Roll up into a burrito. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Reheat the nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add two quesaritos and cook until the outside quesadilla is golden and slightly crispy, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
