Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
  • 1 cup cooked long-grain white rice
  • 1 can (15 oz / 425g) refried beans
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1/2 cup chunky salsa

Method
 

  1. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes, drain most of the fat, add all spices and water, simmer 2 minutes, then stir in the salsa and remove from heat.
  2. Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes until loose, and microwave the wrapped tortillas for 30 seconds until pliable.
  3. Assemble each burrito with 3 tbsp beans, 1/4 of the beef, 1/4 cup rice, 2 tbsp sour cream, and 1/4 cup cheese in the center, then fold and roll tightly seam-side down.
  4. Grill the burritos in 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Cut each burrito in half on a diagonal, place cut-side up, and top with a spoonful of sour cream and a pinch of shredded cheese before serving.

Notes

The beef filling can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge, which makes weeknight assembly much faster. If your tortillas are tearing when you roll, they need more time in the microwave. A few extra seconds makes a real difference.
