Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup salsa (for topping)
Vegetables & Seasonings
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Oils & Garnishes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- optional sour cream (for garnish)
- optional avocado (for garnish)
- optional jalapeños (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Season and Simmer: Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and black beans. Mix thoroughly and let it simmer for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the burritos.
- Assemble Burritos: Lay each flour tortilla flat. Evenly distribute the cooked rice on each, then top with the beef mixture, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Roll Burritos: Roll each tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to securely enclose the filling. Place each burrito seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake the burritos in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the tortillas become golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove burritos from the oven and let them cool slightly for a minute. Top with salsa and add optional garnishes such as sour cream, sliced avocado, or jalapeños before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with a Mexican blend cheese if desired.
- For a spicier burrito, add more jalapeños or use spicy salsa.
- Leftover burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and brown rice.
