Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
- 1/2 cup salsa (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in cooked rice and black beans; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Place about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese and any desired toppings like sour cream or salsa.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Serve immediately or pan-sear on both sides for a crispy exterior.
Tips
- To make ahead, wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Customize with your favorite toppings: guacamole, jalapeños, or hot sauce.
- Use leftover beef mixture for taco salads or nachos.
