Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the meat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.
Stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water and mix until the meat is evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or skillet until pliable.
Assemble each burrito: Start with a layer of cooked white rice, followed by seasoned beef, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and any desired additional toppings like sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Optional: Heat each burrito in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly toast the tortilla and seal it closed.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Macho Burritos!
