Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey
- 1 cup canned black beans
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup guacamole
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 package taco seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and cook the ground beef or turkey until browned, breaking it into smaller pieces with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to coat the meat and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side to make them pliable, or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
Lay each tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of each tortilla, add 1/4 cup of cooked ground meat, 2 tablespoons of black beans, 2 tablespoons of rice, and a sprinkle of cheese.
Top each burrito with 2 tablespoons of salsa, 1 tablespoon of guacamole, and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Add fresh cilantro if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat for all tortillas.
Serve the burritos warm with lime wedges on the side if desired. Enjoy your Mexican Burritos in a Jiffy!
