Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded beef (cooked and seasoned)
- 2 cups refried beans
- 2 cups Mexican rice
- 1.5 cups queso fresco
- 1 cup red enchilada sauce
- 2 medium avocado
- 1 medium lime
- 0.5 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup white onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
Instructions
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add the cooked and seasoned shredded beef to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until warmed through. Set aside.
3. In a separate saucepan, heat the refried beans over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a pinch of salt and ground cumin for extra flavor, if desired.
4. Warm the flour tortillas on a griddle or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side until pliable.
5. Mash the avocados in a bowl and add the juice of one lime, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon of chopped cilantro. Mix well to create guacamole.
6. To assemble each burrito, spread a layer of warm refried beans in the center of a tortilla. Add a scoop of Mexican rice, a generous portion of shredded beef, and a sprinkle of queso fresco.
7. Drizzle a tablespoon of red enchilada sauce over the filling and top with a dollop of guacamole. Sprinkle chopped cilantro if desired.
8. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
9. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
10. Optional: To crisp up the burritos, heat them seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
11. Serve garnished with additional cilantro, lime wedges, and a side of more enchilada sauce or guacamole for dipping.
