# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking up large pieces. Season with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and oregano. Stir well and let spices bloom for 1 minute. Pour in tomato sauce, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
02 -
Lay each flour tortilla flat. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon spicy mayonnaise down the center. Add a generous spoonful of fried rice, drizzle with nacho cheese sauce, top with a dollop of sour cream, and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips. Add a portion of the seasoned beef filling on top.
03 -
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to secure the filling. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese blend onto the skillet. Place the burrito seam-side down and grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until the exterior is crispy and golden.

Serve burritos hot, accompanied by additional spicy mayonnaise on the side for dipping.
