Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 15-ounce can canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 2 avocados, sliced
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 lime wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Brown the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's cooked through and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, if necessary.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
Add the black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas by placing them on a dry skillet over low heat or wrapping them in foil and placing them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of cooked rice in a line down the center of the tortilla.
Add a generous scoop of the beef and bean mixture over the rice.
Top with sliced avocados, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from one end to the other to create a burrito.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve the burritos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
