Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 1.5 cups cooked white or brown rice
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 10 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel), undrained
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into pieces with a spatula. Drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables soften.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Mix well to coat the beef and vegetables with the seasoning.

Step 5

Add the black beans, cooked rice, and diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juices). Stir to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld together.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the skillet. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the beef burrito skillet hot with sour cream on the side and tortilla chips or warm tortillas for scooping.
