Burrito Filling

Method

Burrito Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, approximately 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add vegetables and spices

    To the browned beef, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, red chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Combine other ingredients

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and combined.

Burrito Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the tortillas

    Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for a few seconds until pliable.

  2. 5

    Assemble the burritos

    Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

  3. 6

    Roll the burrito

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

  4. 7

    Serve

    Cut the burritos in half if desired, serve warm with additional sour cream and cilantro on the side.
