Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef Use Halal-certified if necessary.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 packet taco seasoning Ensure it's Halal.
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large burrito-sized tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice Optional but recommended for added substance.
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed Optional.
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- as desired Fresh toppings (diced tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream)
Instructions
Cooking
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the meat mixture, adding a bit of water as directed on the packet. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate dry skillet for a few seconds on each side until they’re pliable.
- Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese and optional rice or beans, if desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, securing all the fillings inside.
- Place the burritos seam-side down in the hot skillet. Grill until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Cut the burritos in half and serve with your favorite toppings!
Notes
For substitutions, you can swap out ground beef for ground turkey or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option. Avoid overfilling the tortillas, and ensure your skillet is hot for a crispy exterior.
