Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook and crumble the meat until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning with a splash of water and mix until the meat is evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or skillet until pliable.

Step 6

Assemble each burrito: Start with a layer of cooked white rice, followed by seasoned beef, black beans, shredded cheddar cheese, and any desired additional toppings like sour cream, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, and cilantro.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Optional: Heat each burrito in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side to lightly toast the tortilla and seal it closed.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your Macho Burritos!
