Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef Filling:

  • 1 lb lean ground beef

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ cup taco sauce or salsa

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

For Assembling:

  • 6 large flour tortillas (10-inch)

  • 1½ cups cooked white or brown rice

  • 1½ cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

  • 1 cup shredded lettuce

  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • Optional: guacamole, chopped cilantro, lime wedges, extra salsa

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef filling:
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute more. Add salsa and black beans, stir, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Warm tortillas:
    Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and pliable.

  3. Assemble burritos:
    Layer each tortilla with rice, beef and bean mixture, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream. Add optional toppings if desired.

  4. Roll and serve:
    Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly. Serve warm or wrap in foil for later.

Notes

  • Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate or freeze burritos for a quick meal later. Reheat in the microwave or oven.

  • Customize it: Add corn, jalapeños, sautéed peppers, or swap black beans for refried beans.

 

  • Freezer tip: Wrap tightly in foil, store in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2 months.
