Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic, cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix cooked rice and black beans.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for about 15 seconds each to make pliable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/4 of the beef mixture down the center, then top with 1/4 of the rice-bean mixture, 1/4 cup cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream, and 2 tablespoons salsa.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve immediately, or for a crispy finish, place burritos seam-side down in a hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beef with extra beans or a plant-based meat alternative.
- Store leftover burritos wrapped in foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Customize with toppings like guacamole, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños.
