Taco Bell is probably every Indian person’s favorite fast food place. I have eaten way too much taco bell this pregnancy. I swear my baby may be made out of cheesy bean & rice LOL! If y’all haven’t had Taco Bell’s Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito, you haven’t lived yet. Not to worry though, I’ve got you covered!!! This is my go to order at TB! So I had to make it at home so I can really see what’s going in my food. It’s basically a layered burrito with the ingredients being in the name: cheese, beans, and rice. And then of course grilled to perfection. Best part: If you have leftovers, make a quesadilla with all the ingredients the next day!
Hubby said it taste just like the taco bell one, which was a huge compliment. He is my biggest critic, so if he doesn’t approve a recipe it usually never goes up on the blog. I have many more homemade TB recipes coming your way, so stay tuned! Also please share your feedback and tag me when you make this @zheelicious 🙂

Rice
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups water
- ¼ cup salsa
- 1 tsp red chili powder

Beans
- 2 cans refried beans

Creamy Jalapeño sauce

Directions:
- In a pressure cooker, add all the ingredients for the rice and let it cook for about 4-5 whistles. You can do this in an instant pot as well, cook for about 10 minutes on high.
- In a bowl add all the ingredients for the beans and mix really well. Microwave it for about 2 minutes. Set-aside until ready to use.
- Mix all the ingredients for the creamy jalapeño sauce in a bowl, set-aside until ready to use.
- On a tortilla spread the cooked rice evenly, then beans, creamy jalapeño sauce, queso, cheese and all the veggies. Roll it into a burrito. Repeat until all the burritos are done.
- On a hot skillet grill the burrito on all sides until desired crispness.
- Serve hot with taco bell sauce!
Notes:
- You can find taco bell sauce at Wal-mart!
- I use Old El Paso brand re-fried beans; make sure you get the vegetarian kind.
- I used McCormick’s or Old El Paso brand taco seasoning.
- You can make the creamy jalapeño sauce with Greek yogurt to make things a little healthier.
