Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion (diced)
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 1 cup Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce (shredded)
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 2-3 tablespoons of water to fully coat the beef. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the black beans to the skillet and stir them into the seasoned beef. Cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Lay one tortilla flat and spread a spoonful of the cooked rice in the center, followed by a scoop of the beef and bean mixture.
Top with salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Add fresh cilantro if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil to keep warm and enjoy later!
