Description
A delicious and hearty Cheesy Beefy Burrito recipe that combines seasoned ground beef, rice, black beans, and cheese, all wrapped in a flour tortilla and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Add the cooked rice and black beans to the skillet, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the salsa until melted and well combined.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Place the burritos seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the remaining salsa over the top of the burritos and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve warm with sour cream and chopped cilantro if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and try using whole wheat tortillas for added fiber.
