Step 1: Cook the Rice: Follow the instructions on the package to cook your rice. Set it aside once it's done.
Step 2: Prepare the Beef: While the rice is cooking, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning and water, then let it simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the meat.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine all the cheese sauce ingredients. Stir continuously until everything is melted and smooth. Let it sit for about 10 minutes so it can thicken up.
Step 4: Make the Quesadilla Shells: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese on top. Place a second tortilla on top, then carefully flip it over. Let it cook just long enough for the cheese to melt—if it gets too crispy, rolling it later will be tricky. Repeat until you have 4 cheesy quesadilla shells.
Step 5: Assemble the Quesaritos: Spread sour cream and Spicy Ranchero Sauce over each quesadilla shell. Add a scoop of taco meat, a drizzle of cheese sauce, and a spoonful of rice. Carefully roll them up into burritos, making sure everything stays snug inside. Now, take a bite and enjoy that cheesy, saucy perfection!
