Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked white or Mexican-style rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and mix until evenly distributed.
Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and the black beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or in a dry skillet for easier folding.
To assemble the burritos, place a large spoonful of cooked beef mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Top the beef mixture with a scoop of rice, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, and a handful of shredded lettuce.
Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Rio Grande Beef Burritos!
