Ingredients:

To make the filling for your bean and beef burritos, you'll need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 8 large flour tortillas

Instructions:

Now that you've gathered all of your ingredients, it's time to start making your bean and beef burritos:

  1. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until it's browned and cooked through. Drain the excess fat and return the meat to the pan.

    2. Cooked Beef

  2. Add the black beans, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the beef. Stir everything together until it's well combined and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes over medium heat.

    3. Black Beans

  3. Add the cooked rice, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers to the skillet with the beef and beans. Stir everything together until it's well combined and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes over medium heat.

    4. Diced Tomatoes, Onions, And Bell Peppers

  4. Warm the tortillas in a microwave for 15-20 seconds, on a skillet or griddle, or in the oven. This will make them more pliable and easier to wrap around your filling.

    5. Warm Tortilla

  5. Spoon the beef and bean mixture onto each tortilla, making sure to distribute it evenly among them. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go to create a burrito.

    6. Rolled Burrito

  6. Finally, serve your bean and beef burritos with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or hot sauce.

    7. Burrito With Toppings
