Ingredients
For the beef filling:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
For the burritos:
- 6 burrito-size flour tortillas
- 2 cups cilantro-lime rice homemade or store-bought, cooked
- 2 cups lettuce thinly sliced
- 1 cup corn canned or frozen, drained or thawed
- 1 cup black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- 1/2 medium red onion diced
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream optional
- lime wedges optional, to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil and heat until it sizzles.
- Add the ground beef to the hot oil and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cumin, the chili powder, the paprika, the garlic powder, the oregano, the salt, the black pepper, and the tomato paste to the beef and stir to combine.
- Reduce the heat to medium and allow the beef mixture to simmer, while stirring occasionally, until combined and slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Turn off the stovetop heat.
- On each of the tortillas, add 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture and 1/3 cup of the cooked rice. Then, evenly top each with the lettuce, the corn, the black beans, the tomatoes, the onions, the cilantro, and the cheese in the center.
- Drizzle the fillings on each of the tortillas with the sour cream and a squeeze from the lime wedges.
- Fold the bottom of each of the tortillas up to cover the filling.
- Fold the edges of each of the tortillas in and roll them up tightly to seal them. Make sure the corners are sealed tight.
- Wrap each of the burritos in foil.
- Transfer the burritos to a baking sheet.
- Bake until the burritos are warmed through and the cheese inside is melted, about 20-25 minutes.
- Serve warm.
