Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 6 Large flour tortillas
• 1 cup Chopped lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Oil (vegetable or olive oil)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning. Add 1/4 cup water, stir, and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Assemble the burritos: In the center of each tortilla, add a scoop of cooked rice, a scoop of seasoned beef, a spoonful of black beans, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

Step 6

Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa on top of the filling, then layer with lettuce and diced tomatoes.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla in, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, enclosing the filling completely.

Step 8

Optional: For a warm, crispy burrito, place the rolled burritos seam-side down in a preheated nonstick skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for meal prep or on-the-go meals. Enjoy your Easy Tex Mex Burritos!
