Burrito Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, add ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Add onions, garlic, and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in cooked rice, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Assemble the Burritos
Lay a large flour tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling into the center.
Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and salsa as desired.
Fold in the sides and roll up the tortilla tightly to secure the filling.
Cook the Burritos
In the same skillet, place the burrito seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm with extra salsa and sour cream on the side.
