Burrito Ingredients

Method

Burrito Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Protein

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. For chicken, simply heat the shredded chicken until warmed through.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rice and Beans

    In a separate pot, heat the cooked rice and refried beans until warm. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burrito

    On a large flour tortilla, layer a scoop of rice, a scoop of refried beans, the cooked protein (beef or chicken), a sprinkle of cheese, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and cilantro.

  4. 4

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa and sour cream on the side.
