Instructions
Brown the beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Pro tip: Drain excess fat for a leaner dish.
Sauté onion and garlic
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add spices
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pro tip: Toast the spices to release their essential oils.
Incorporate beans and rice
Add the black beans and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Pro tip: Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed.
Mix in salsa
Pour in the salsa and stir. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
Pro tip: Adjust salsa quantity for desired moisture.
Assemble burritos
Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and fold into burritos.
Pro tip: Warm tortillas slightly to prevent cracking.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet for even cooking.
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili powder.
- For extra flavour, toast the tortillas before filling them.
