Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 6 Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Chopped lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning. Add 1/4 cup water, stir, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Assemble the burritos: In the center of each tortilla, add a scoop of cooked rice, a scoop of seasoned beef, a spoonful of black beans, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top of the filling, then layer with lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely.
Optional: For a warm, crispy burrito, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a preheated nonstick skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for meal prep or on-the-go meals. Enjoy your Easy Tex Mex Burritos!
