Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in taco seasoning and water; bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a small saucepan, warm refried beans over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- To assemble: Spread about 1/4 cup refried beans down the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the beef mixture, 1/4 cup rice, 1/4 cup cheese, 1 tablespoon sour cream, and 1 tablespoon salsa. Add avocado slices if desired.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go. Serve immediately.
Tips
- For a lighter version, use ground turkey and reduced-fat cheese.
- To make ahead, wrap burritos in foil and reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes.
- Customize with additional toppings like chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños.
