Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Proteins

    If using canned black beans, drain and rinse them well. If using shredded beef, ground beef, or shredded chicken, ensure they are cooked and ready for assembly.

  2. 2

    Set Up the Workstation

    Gather all ingredients including tortillas, cheese, protein options, and toppings. Lay them out in an assembly line for easy access.

Assembling the Burrito

  1. 3

    Add the Protein

    Take one tortilla and place it on a clean surface. Add 1/4 cup of your chosen protein (black beans, shredded beef, ground beef, or shredded chicken) in the center of the tortilla.

  2. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese over the protein.

  3. 5

    Add Toppings

    If desired, add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced avocado.

  4. 6

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla up tightly to enclose the filling.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Once all burritos are assembled, slice them in half if desired, and serve with extra toppings on the side.
