Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium (diced) Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 packet (or 2 tbsp homemade) Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz, drained and rinsed) Canned black beans
- 4 10-inch Large flour tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 cup (shredded) Romaine lettuce
- 1 large (diced) Tomatoes
- 1 large (sliced) Avocado
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef, and mix thoroughly. Add 1/4 cup of water and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the mixture is slightly saucy. Remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in a large skillet over low heat or wrap them in foil and heat in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
To assemble each burrito, lay one tortilla flat. Add 1/2 cup of the cooked rice, 1/4 cup of black beans, a generous portion of the seasoned beef, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese in the center of the tortilla.
Top with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of salsa, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a few slices of avocado.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
For a crispy burrito, place the assembled burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Slice the burritos in half and serve warm. Enjoy with extra salsa, sour cream, or guacamole on the side!
