Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium bell pepper, diced
- 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel), undrained
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
- tortilla chips or warmed tortillas (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into pieces with a spatula. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables with the seasoning.
Add the black beans, cooked rice, and diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juices). Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld together.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve the beef burrito skillet hot with sour cream on the side and tortilla chips or warm tortillas for scooping.
