When you are craving a hearty meal but do not have hours to spend in the kitchen, these burritos are the answer. They are perfect for busy weeknights because you can customize the filling with whatever your family loves most.

I find that warming your tortillas slightly before rolling them makes them much more pliable and less likely to tear. This little trick makes assembling your burritos feel like a breeze.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked white rice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown the meat in a large skillet over medium heat until it is fully cooked through.

  2. 2

    Stir in the taco seasoning and a splash of water, then let it simmer for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm your tortillas in the microwave for twenty seconds so they are soft and easy to roll.

  4. 4

    Spoon a portion of rice, meat, beans, and cheese into the center of each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Add a spoonful of salsa, lettuce, and sour cream on top of the filling.

  6. 6

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the ingredients inside.

  7. 7

    Serve warm immediately while the cheese is nice and melty.

💡 Tips

You can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, but I suggest keeping the lettuce and sour cream separate until you are ready to eat. If you want a crispier shell, lightly toast your wrapped burritos in a dry pan for a minute on each side.
