Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  6. Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, about 1/4 of the mixture per tortilla.
  7. Top each burrito with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a spoonful of salsa.
  8. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward and then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
  9. Serve immediately, with extra salsa and sour cream on the side.
