About Beef bean rice burrito

The Beef Bean Rice Burrito is a staple of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, combining seasoned ground beef, refried or black beans, rice, and sometimes cheese or salsa, all wrapped in a flour or corn tortilla. This dish provides a balanced nutritional profile with protein from the beef, fiber from the beans, and carbohydrates from the rice and tortilla. A medium-sized burrito typically offers around 350-450 calories, 15-20 grams of protein, 10-15 grams of fat, and 40-50 grams of carbohydrates, depending on the ingredients and portion size. It also contains B vitamins (from rice and beef), iron (from beef), and magnesium and potassium (from beans). Often enjoyed as a handheld meal, it can be further customized to meet various dietary preferences by adding or removing fillings and condiments.

Health Benefits

• High-quality protein from beef supports muscle repair and maintenance (approximately 15-20 grams per serving).
• Beans are a rich source of dietary fiber, promoting healthy digestion and helping to regulate blood sugar levels (approximately 8 grams of fiber per serving with beans).
• Rich in iron from beef, supporting oxygen transport in the blood and preventing anemia (15% of the daily value per serving).

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat (from flour tortilla), dairy (if cheese is included), soy (if using processed refried beans)

Suitable for: High-protein diets, balanced diets

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets (unless a gluten-free tortilla is used), vegetarian or vegan diets (unless beef is removed or substituted)

Selection and Storage

Store refrigerated in an airtight container and consume within 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for even heating. Avoid storing with wet condiments to prevent sogginess.
