Burritos* Recipe

Burritos

1. 1

   Cook the seasoned rice

   In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup rice, 2 cups water, and 0.5 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Sauté aromatics

   While the rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 0.5 cup chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. 3

   Brown beef and build seasoning

   Add 1 lb ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp ground cumin, 0.5 tsp paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

4. 4

   Stir in beans and corn

   Add 1.5 cups drained black beans and 1 cup corn kernels to the beef mixture. Simmer 5 minutes to heat through; adjust seasoning with salt.

5. 5

   Warm tortillas and prep toppings

   Warm 8 flour tortillas in a dry skillet or wrapped in foil in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-7 minutes. Prepare toppings: 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 0.5 cup salsa, 0.5 cup sour cream, and chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.

6. 6

   Assemble burritos

   To assemble, spread a layer of rice on the center of each tortilla. Top with a scoop of beef and bean mixture, then sprinkle with cheese. Add salsa and sour cream, plus lettuce, tomato, and cilantro as desired. Fold in the sides and roll tightly. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
