Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Cooked rice
- 1 can (16 ounces) Canned refried beans
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce or salsa
- 1 cup Chopped lettuce
- 1 medium Chopped tomato
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the beef to the pan.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated and thickened.
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish until heated through.
Heat the tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10-15 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.
To assemble the burritos, spread a spoonful of refried beans in the center of a tortilla.
Top with a scoop of cooked rice, seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, and chopped tomato.
Add a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa, followed by a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve the burritos warm, with additional sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
