Instructions

1

Cook the rice according to package instructions and set aside.

2

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces.

3

Drain excess fat from the beef. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.

4

In a separate pan, heat black beans with a pinch of salt. Mash slightly for a creamier texture.

5

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.

6

Assemble burritos: Layer rice, beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro on each tortilla. Drizzle with sour cream and add avocado slices.

7

Fold sides of tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose filling completely.

8

Optional: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet and lightly toast each burrito seam-side down for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp.

Chef's Tips

  • Tortilla Tip: For extra pliability, lightly brush tortillas with water before warming.
  • Protein Swap: Substitute beef with chicken, pork, or tofu for variety.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare fillings in advance for quick assembly later.
  • Freezing: Wrap unburritos tightly in foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Spice Level: Adjust heat with jalapeños or hot sauce to taste.
  • Vegetable Boost: Add sautéed bell peppers or corn for extra nutrition.
