Instructions

Begin by combining all three cheeses in a large bowl and set aside.

Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add diced onions with salt and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add minced garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Remove onion mixture from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Combine sour cream, chipotle sauce, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl.

Warm tortillas slightly to make them more pliable.

Spread softened butter on the outside of each tortilla.

Place tortilla butter-side down on a clean surface.

Spread chipotle-lime sour cream on the inside of the tortilla.

Layer Spanish rice in the center of each tortilla if using.

Add a generous amount of the cheese blend over the rice.

Sprinkle the cooled onion mixture over the cheese layer.

Add black beans, corn, and avocado slices.

Drizzle with salsa verde and sprinkle with cilantro and green onions.

Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling.

Fold in both sides and continue rolling to form a burrito.

Secure with toothpicks if necessary.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place the burrito seam-side down on the hot surface.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted.

Remove toothpicks and cut diagonally in half if desired.

Serve immediately while cheese is still melted and gooey.

Accompany with additional salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
