Method

Prepare Burrito Filling

  1. 1

    Mix the filling

    In a large bowl, combine the black beans, cooked rice, sour cream, shredded cheese, and your choice of protein. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Make Red Sauce

  1. 2

    Prepare the sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 10 minutes to combine flavors. Set aside.

Prepare Cheese Dip

  1. 3

    Melt cheese dip ingredients

    In a saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheese, and milk. Stir continuously until melted and creamy. If desired, add diced jalapeño for extra heat. Keep warm.

Assemble Burritos

  1. 4

    Fill the tortillas

    Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of the burrito filling in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling inside. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the dish

    Place the assembled burritos on a plate. Pour the prepared red sauce over the burritos, then drizzle with the warm cheese dip. Serve immediately.
