Ingredients
Scale
2 large flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning, cooked rice, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
Lay one tortilla flat and sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over one half of the tortilla.
Spoon half of the beef mixture over the cheese, then top with a dollop of sour cream.
Fold the tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape.
In the same skillet, place the folded burrito seam-side down and cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt.
Carefully flip the burrito and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
Slice the burritos in half and serve warm with additional sour cream or salsa if desired.
Notes
For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
For a vegetarian twist, replace the beef with sautéed vegetables or extra beans.
