- 250 grams lean ground beef
- 400 grams canned black beans
- 200 grams cooked brown rice
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 1 small, diced onion
- 1 small, diced red bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 120 grams low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 15 grams, chopped fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until it's browned, about 5 minutes.
Rinse and drain the canned black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour the canned diced tomatoes (including juice) into the skillet and stir the mixture, allowing it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
Once the mixture is cooked through and liquid is slightly reduced, remove from heat.
Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat and spoon an equal portion of cooked brown rice down the center.
Add a generous spoonful of the beef and bean mixture over the rice.
Sprinkle a portion of shredded low-fat cheddar cheese and chopped fresh cilantro on top.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Optional: Heat the burritos briefly on a hot grill pan or skillet for a crisp outer finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your healthy Low Fat Beef Bean Rice Burrito.
