Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup salsa
- 6 pieces flour tortillas (large burrito-size)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 large avocado, diced
- hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon (about 7-8 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
Sprinkle the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, and salt over the beef. Stir well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
Mix in the black beans and salsa. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for easier folding.
Assemble the burritos by placing a scoop of cooked rice in the center of each tortilla.
Top the rice with the beef and bean mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and a dollop of sour cream. Add hot sauce if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately or wrap in foil for on-the-go meals.
