• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 15 ounces, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 20 ounces red enchilada sauce

📝 Instructions

15 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

5. Drain excess fat from the skillet and return it to the heat.

6. Stir in the taco seasoning, cooked rice, black beans, salt, and pepper, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes until everything is heated through.

7. Lay out the flour tortillas and divide the beef mixture evenly among them.

8. Roll each tortilla up tightly into a burrito, folding in the sides as you roll.

9. Place the burritos seam-side down in a large baking dish.

10. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the burritos.

11. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce-covered burritos.

12. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

13. Remove the foil and continue to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

14. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for a few minutes before serving.

15. Top with sour cream and sliced green onions before serving hot.
