Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.

Step 7

In a separate pot, have cooked white rice ready, or reheat if prepared in advance.

Step 8

Warm the tortillas either on a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave covered with a damp paper towel for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 9

To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat and place about 1/3 cup of the ground beef and bean mixture in the center.

Step 10

Add a few spoonfuls of cooked rice over the beef, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Top with a spoonful of salsa and a dollop of sour cream, then sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 12

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll from the bottom to make a burrito.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade ground beef burritos!
