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

For Assembly:

- 1/4 cup butter, melted (for toasting)
Optional Toppings:

Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
