Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 Large flour tortillas
• 0.5 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the meat mixture is well-coated and the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, cooked white rice, black beans, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 5

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/2 cup of the filling mixture in the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 6

Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill on medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the burritos seam-side down onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown grill marks form and the tortillas are crispy.

Step 8

Remove the grilled burritos from the heat and let them rest for 1-2 minutes before serving. Optionally, cut them in half and serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on the side.
