Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1.5 cups Cooked long-grain rice
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 Flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 Fresh lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking the beef into crumbles as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked.

Step 3

Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices.

Step 4

Add the black beans to the skillet and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and add a scoop of rice, a spoonful of the beef and bean mixture, some shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream and salsa.

Step 7

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from bottom to top to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 8

Optional: Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 1-2 minutes on each side to give them a slight crispness.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
