Equipment
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowls
- Knife and cutting board
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Tortilla press or rolling pin
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb ground beef or chicken
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup salsa your choice of mild or hot
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil
Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Warm the Tortillas: Heat a tortilla press or skillet and gently warm the flour tortillas until they are soft and pliable.
- Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the warm tortillas and evenly distribute the cooked rice, black beans, cooked meat, and shredded cheese among them.
- Add Toppings: Top each with salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Wrap the Burritos: Begin by lifting the bottom edge of the tortilla over the fillings, then tuck in the sides and firmly roll forward to form a tight cylinder.
- Final Touch: Return the rolled burritos to the skillet and heat briefly on each side to crisp up the tortillas and melt the cheese.
- Serve: Cut each burrito in half, serve with lime wedges, and enjoy!
Notes
- Vegetarian: Substitute meat with grilled vegetables or tofu for a vegetarian version.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or chipotle sauce for extra heat.
- Low-Carb: Use lettuce wraps instead of tortillas for a lower carb option.
- Cheese Varieties: Experiment with different cheeses such as pepper jack or queso fresco.
- Breakfast Burrito: Include scrambled eggs and bacon for a breakfast version.
