Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)

For Assembly:

  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (for toasting)

Optional Toppings:

  • Salsa or pico de gallo
  • Guacamole
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Cook the Beef:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat. Add taco seasoning and water, stirring until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • Stir in cooked rice, black beans, shredded cheese, and sour cream (if using). Mix until the cheese melts and everything is combined.
  3. Assemble the Burritos:
    • Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture onto the center. Add optional toppings like salsa or guacamole, if desired. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly.
  4. Toast the Burritos:
    • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush the burritos with melted butter and place seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice burritos in half and serve with extra toppings, sour cream, or hot sauce.

Tips for the Best Burritos

  • Customize fillings: Add corn, jalapeños, or more beans for extra flavor and texture.
  • Use warm tortillas: Heat tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
  • Make it ahead: Assemble burritos and refrigerate. Toast them just before serving.
