Why burritos with beef is a good choice

These Burritos with Beef are perfect for a quick weekday dinner. The combination of seasoned meat and soft tortillas is always a hit with children and adults. You can prepare most of the components in advance to save even more time. It is a versatile dish that works well for lunch or dinner.

Step by step: burritos with beef

Step 1
Cook the meat: Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry until it is soft and clear. Put the beef mince into the pan and cook until it is browned all over. Break up any large lumps with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Step 2
Add the seasoning: Stir in the crushed garlic and taco seasoning to the meat. Add a splash of water if the mixture looks too dry. Cook for another two minutes to let the flavours combine. Stir through the black beans and heat them until they are warm.
Step 3
Prepare the tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds. Place a portion of cooked rice in the centre of each tortilla. Spoon the beef and bean mixture over the rice. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheese on top of the filling.
Step 4
Fold and serve: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling. Roll from the bottom to create a tight wrap. You can toast the Burritos with Beef in a pan for a few seconds to make them crispy. Serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the filling is hot.

Good advice for burritos with beef

To get the best results with Burritos with Beef, make sure you do not overfill the tortillas as they might break. Warming the tortillas first makes them much easier to fold without tearing. You can add extra toppings like sour cream or salsa just before rolling for more flavour. If you want to make them ahead of time, wrap each one tightly in foil to keep them warm. This recipe also works well with extra vegetables like peppers or sweetcorn added to the pan. Using a lean mince will help prevent the bottom of the burrito from getting too greasy.

Storing leftovers in the fridge is easy if you keep the filling and tortillas separate.
