Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice, diced tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños (if using). Mix well.
  4. To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat and spread a layer of sour cream in the center. Add a scoop of the beef mixture, followed by a scoop of the rice mixture, and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then roll it up from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Optional: For a crispy finish, place the burritos seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy!
