Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1.5 cups Cooked rice
• 1 can (16 ounces) Canned refried beans
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce or salsa
• 1 cup Chopped lettuce
• 1 medium Chopped tomato
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the beef to the pan.

Step 4

Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is fully incorporated and thickened.

Step 5

Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish until heated through.

Step 6

Heat the tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10-15 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, spread a spoonful of refried beans in the center of a tortilla.

Step 8

Top with a scoop of cooked rice, seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, and chopped tomato.

Step 9

Add a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa, followed by a dollop of sour cream.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 12

Serve the burritos warm, with additional sour cream or salsa on the side if desired.
