Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 15-ounce can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 8 large gluten-free tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes to combine flavors.
Add the drained black beans to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.
Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to the package instructions to make them pliable.
To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooked rice onto the center of the tortilla.
Add a few tablespoons of the beef and bean mixture on top of the rice.
Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture.
Drizzle a tablespoon of salsa and dollop a spoonful of sour cream over the cheese.
Sprinkle some chopped cilantro leaves on top.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the filling.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Serve the burritos immediately with extra salsa and sour cream on the side if desired.
