Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and stir, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper, mixing until the spices coat the meat evenly.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice and black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through for about 3 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds each side, or until pliable.
Spoon an equal amount of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla, spreading it into a rectangular shape for easy wrapping.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture in each burrito.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos warm, with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro on top.
