Ingredients

• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1.5 cups cooked white rice
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Once the beef is cooked, drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning along with salt and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef, then remove from heat.

Step 4

In a separate pan, heat the tortillas one by one over low heat until they're warm and pliable.

Step 5

To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/4 cup of cooked rice onto the center of the tortilla, followed by 1/4 cup of seasoned beef, and 1/4 cup of black beans.

Step 6

Add approximately 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef and beans.

Step 7

Add a tablespoon each of salsa and sour cream, and sprinkle with a little chopped cilantro.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 10

Serve immediately, optionally garnished with extra salsa, sour cream, or cilantro.
