Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1.5 cups Cooked long-grain rice
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 Flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 4 Fresh lime wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking the beef into crumbles as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices.
Add the black beans to the skillet and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and add a scoop of rice, a spoonful of the beef and bean mixture, some shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream and salsa.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes on each side to give them a slight crispness.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
