Method
Burrito Filling
- 1
Cook the Meat
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or shredded chicken and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes for beef, 3-5 minutes for chicken). Drain excess fat if necessary.

Add Seasoning
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked meat and stir well. Add a splash of water if needed to help distribute the seasoning. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
Rice and Beans

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed.

Heat the Beans
While the rice is cooking, open the can of black beans and drain. Rinse them under cold water if desired. In a small saucepan, heat the beans over medium heat until warmed through (about 5-7 minutes).
