Servings: 4

Ingredients

Ground beef
1 pound
Black beans
1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
Cooked rice
1 cup
Flour tortillas
4 large
Shredded cheese
1 cup (cheddar or mexican blend)
Lettuce
1 cup, shredded
Tomato
1 cup, diced
Avocado
1, sliced
Sour cream
1/2 cup
Salsa
1/2 cup
Onion
1, diced
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Cumin
1 teaspoon
Chili powder
1 teaspoon
Salt
1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the black beans and cooked rice, mixing well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to heat through.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds until pliable.
  5. Lay a warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place a generous scoop of the beef and bean mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomato, sliced avocado, sour cream, and salsa.
  6. Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  7. Serve the Santa Barbara Burritos warm, garnished with extra salsa and avocado slices if desired. Enjoy!
