Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 small yellow onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Drain and rinse the black beans.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 more minute, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef with the seasonings.

Step 6

Add the rinsed black beans and the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the liquid). Stir to combine and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated.

Step 7

While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave to make them pliable.

Step 8

To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1/3 cup of cooked rice in the center of the tortilla.

Step 9

Top the rice with 1/4 cup of the beef mixture, a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of sour cream, a drizzle of lime juice, and a pinch of fresh cilantro. Add salsa if desired.

Step 10

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 11

Serve the Cowboy Burritos warm with additional salsa or sour cream on the side if desired.
