Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef Use lean ground beef for less grease.
- 1 cup cooked rice White or brown rice can be used.
- 1 can black beans or pinto beans 15 oz, drained and rinsed.
- 1 packet taco seasoning Store-bought or homemade.
- 2 cups shredded cheese Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend.

Instructions
Cooking the Beef
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Seasoning the Beef
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked beef and add 1/4 cup water. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes until well coated.
Preparing the Filling
- In a large bowl, mix the seasoned beef with the cooked rice and beans. Add in 1 cup of shredded cheese, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
Assembling the Burritos
- Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon an ample amount of the filling mixture into the center. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Heating the Burritos
- In the same skillet, place the burritos seam-side down and cook on medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Serving
- Once finished, slice the burritos in half and serve with your favorite toppings like salsa and sour cream.
Notes
For beef alternatives, consider chicken or turkey. You can also customize the spice level by adding jalapeños or hot sauce.
