Ground Beef Burritos

olive oil

garlic (minced)

beef

salt (or

tomato paste

water

rice

black beans

Pico de Gallo salsa

Mexican-style shredded cheese

sour cream (or Mexican crema)

(10 flour tortillas

Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Stir in the taco seasoning, salt, tomato paste and water, mixing to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the beef has absorbed most of the liquid. Reserve for a few minutes so it can cool down slightly.

Before assembling the burritos, warm the tortillas on the microwave or stovetop. Also, if using boil-in-bag rice and canned beans, season with salt.

To assemble the burritos, layer 1/4 cup of rice on the top center part of each tortilla, followed by 1/4 cup beans and 1/4 cup of the seasoned beef. (If using a 12-inch tortilla, you can increase amounts to 1/3 cup each). Spoon some of the salsa, sprinkle some cheese and finish with a few small dollops of sour cream.

To roll, fold the top part down and over the filling, gently pulling the filling back towards the top of the tortilla. Then, gently fold both sides inwards and start to tightly roll down the tortilla, tucking the sides in, making a cylindrical shape. Be gentle and careful not to tear the tortilla.

Wrap each burrito in foil and serve immediately or warm in the oven, at 350ºF, for 25-30 minutes or until warmed through! You can also freeze them for up to 3 months (see notes).

Soft tortilla wraps filled with savory ingredients and mouthwateringly delicious seasoned beef.

Beef Burritos

sunflower oil

beef mince

onion (finely chopped)

garlic (very finely chopped)

tbsp coriander

cayenne pepper

oregano

caster sugar

tomatoes

flour tortillas

tbsp wine vinegar or cider vinegar

If not planning on freezing, a mixture of chopped tomatoes, avocado, lettuce, and cucumber

Step one is to heat the sunflower oil up in a large pan. Fry the onions for 5 minutes and then add seasoning such as oregano and garlic, cooking for one to two minutes. Take the beef mince and place into the pan, stirring with the other ingredients until golden brown.

Stir sugar into the beef mixture, and then pour a little vinegar over it. If you aren’t planning on freezing your burritos, this is when you can add chopped tomatoes to the beef mixture and stir it in.

Simmer your beef mix for around 5 minutes, and then add the black beans, continuing to simmer for an additional 20 minutes. During this time, you can add additional spices depending on your preference.

Take the tortillas out of their packaging and begin to heat them according to the instructions on their packaging. Once you have heated the tortillas and they are ready to go, begin lining up rice and beef along with each tortilla, making sure to add any toppings you like such as tomatoes, cucumber, or lettuce.

Fold over the ends of the burrito in order to seal them so that the filling doesn’t fall out. Serve immediately, or leave to cool if you wish to freeze them.
