Burritos
Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 cup cooked rice
– 1 cup shredded cheese
– 8 large flour tortillas
– Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula.
2. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
3. Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper over the beef and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for a minute to enhance their flavors.
4. Add the black beans to the skillet and mix them in with the beef and vegetables. Let the mixture simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Stir in the cooked rice until everything is well incorporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Place a flour tortilla on a clean flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and rice mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
8. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the filling. Be generous – the gooey cheese will hold everything together!
9. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll it up tightly.
10. Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining tortillas.
11. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
12. Bake the burritos for 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
