Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Cook your choice of meat (asada, pastor, barbacoa, or chicken) on a grill or stovetop until fully cooked. Season to your taste and then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Rice and Beans

    Heat the cooked rice and black beans in separate pots or in the microwave until warm.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burrito

    Lay a large flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center, layer the meat, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and avocado. Be careful not to overfill.

  4. 4

    Roll the Burrito

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, ensuring all fillings are enclosed.

  5. 5

    Serve with Fries

    In a separate bowl, serve the burrito alongside a portion of fries. Top the burrito with sour cream before serving.
