Steps

1

Prepare the Filling

In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, and smoked paprika, then cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

2

Cook Meat and Beans

Add the ground beef to the skillet and brown it, breaking it apart, for about 5-7 minutes. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the drained and rinsed black beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3

Warm the Tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side until pliable. Alternatively, you can warm them in the microwave, wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel, for 30 seconds.

4

Assemble the Burritos

Lay each tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a portion of cooked rice onto the center, followed by the seasoned meat and bean filling. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese, add a dollop of salsa, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and a handful of shredded lettuce. If desired, sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

5

Roll and Serve

Fold in the two sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to create a compact burrito. Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly made, flavorful burrito!

Extra Tips

Don't be afraid to experiment with the filling! You can add corn, bell peppers, or even avocado.

Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave before filling them; they will be much more pliable.

If you have leftover filling, it's great for salads or tacos the next day.
