Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 tortillas large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet and reduce heat to medium.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until the beef is well-coated with the spices.
Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Cook for additional 2-3 minutes.
In a separate pot, have cooked white rice ready, or reheat if prepared in advance.
Warm the tortillas either on a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat and place about 1/3 cup of the ground beef and bean mixture in the center.
Add a few spoonfuls of cooked rice over the beef, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Top with a spoonful of salsa and a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom to make a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade ground beef burritos!
