Quesarito

== Description ==
A red-hot, rich combination of quesadilla and burrito is a remarkable, cheesy dish made as an appetizer and is cooked to an incredible aroma. Heavy cream, leftover cooked beef, fresh chili peppers, and hot sauce work for this, too.

* 1 ½ tablespoons masa corn flour
* 4 ½ teaspoons chili powder
* ½ teaspoon onion powder
* ½ teaspoon garlic powder
* ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
* ½ teaspoon paprika
* ¼ teaspoon cumin
* ½ teaspoon garlic salt
* ¼ teaspoon sugar
* 1 teaspoon instant minced onion
* ½ teaspoon beef bouillon
=== Cilantro-lime Rice ===
* ½ tablespoon butter
* 1 cup long-grain white rice
* 2 cups chicken broth
* ¾ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
* juice and zest of 1 lime
* 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
* ¼ teaspoon cumin
=== Chipotle Sauce ===
* ¼ cup mayonnaise or (1 cup all-purpose cream)
* 2 teaspoons minced jalapeños (from the jar) or (3 chili peppers, chopped, red only)
* 2 teaspoons jalapeño juice from the jar or (2 ½ tablespoons hot sauce)
* ¾ teaspoon sugar, brown or white only
* ½ teaspoon paprika
* ½ teaspoon cumin
* ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
* ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 pinch of salt
=== Other ===
* 8 burrito-sized flour tortillas
* 2 cups shredded cheese, mixed (such as Parmesan, Colby, Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Monterey)
* sour cream
* cooking spray
== Directions ==
# In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise (or all-purpose cream), minced jalapeños (or chopped red chili peppers), jalapeño juice (or hot sauce), ¾ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon cumin, ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and set aside.
# In a separate bowl, combine masa corn flour, chili powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, seasoning salt, ½ teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon cumin, garlic salt, ¼ teaspoon sugar, minced onion, and beef bouillon. Mix well and set aside.
# Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Crumble the ground chuck into the skillet and cook while breaking the meat up into chunks with a spatula until browned.
# Drain off any excess grease. Add ¾-1 cup of water and the taco seasoning to the ground beef. Mix well and simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
# Simmer until almost all of the moisture has cooked away.
# Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the rice and cook while stirring for 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken broth, salt, pepper, zest and lime juice, cilantro and ¼ teaspoon cumin.
# Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for about 15-16 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the rice to sit covered for an additional 10 minutes.
# Lay out a sheet of paper towel onto a microwave safe plate. Add one tortilla on top of the paper towel.  
# Add a thin layer of cheese on top of the tortillas. Place another tortilla on top of the cheese. 
# Place a damp paper towel on top. 
# Place into the microwave and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the cheese has melted. In the center of the prepared quesadilla, add some of the ground beef, top with some of the cilantro-lime rice. 
# Add a little bit of the chipotle sauce and sour cream. 
# Roll up the burritos by folding the corners towards the center and then grabbing the bottom and rolling up. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and cheese.
# To cook them in the pan, spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat the skillet to medium-high heat.
# Place the wraps into the skillet seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crisp on the bottom; turn over and cook until golden brown on the other side (about 2-3 minutes per side). Serve hot and plain then pair this quesarito with other side dishes or appetizers, if desired.
