Protein

Beans

Method

Prepare the Protein

  1. 1

    Cook the Ground Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Season with salt, black pepper, and chili powder. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Prepare the Beans

  1. 2

    Heat the Black Beans

    In a small saucepan, add the canned black beans and cumin. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Prepare the Rice

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Prepare the white rice according to package instructions if not already cooked. You can use leftover rice if available.

Assemble the Burrito

  1. 4

    Fill the Tortillas

    Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, layer 1/4 of the cooked ground beef, 1/4 of the black beans, and 1/4 of the cooked rice.

  2. 5

    Add Toppings

    Top the fillings with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and guacamole as desired.

  3. 6

    Roll the Burrito

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

Serve

    Enjoy!

    Cut the burritos in half if desired and serve immediately with extra toppings on the side.
