Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef or chicken and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add a splash of water if needed, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until meat is well coated with seasoning.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Rice and Beans

    In a separate pot, heat the cooked rice and black beans until warm. Stir together and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling the Burrito

  1. 4

    Warm the Tortilla

    In a dry skillet or microwave, warm the flour tortillas until pliable, about 10-15 seconds in the microwave or 30 seconds on each side in a skillet.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortilla

    Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon 1/2 cup of the rice and bean mixture in the center, followed by 1/4 of the cooked meat, and top with shredded cheese and sour cream.

  3. 6

    Add Toppings

    If desired, add toppings such as lettuce, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and salsa.

  4. 7

    Wrap the Burrito

    Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling completely.

Cooking

  1. 8

    Toast the Burrito

    If desired, return the wrapped burrito to the skillet and toast on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
