Embellishing Your Beef and Bean Burritos

The beauty of Beef and Bean Burritos lies in both their simplicity and the ability to jazz them up to your liking! Enjoy them plain or drizzle them with queso, sour cream, salsa, creamy jalapeño, creamy salsa, or even warm enchilada sauce. Top them with diced tomatoes, cubed avocado, sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños, pico de gallo, black bean and corn salsa, or fresh cilantro.

You can even opt to sprinkle the above add-ons over the beef and bean mixture before rolling up a burrito (so that the add-ons are inside the burrito).

How to make Beef, Black Bean, and Corn Burritos

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 15- oz can black beans , rinsed
• 1 cup corn , canned or frozen
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 8 large tortillas
• 2 cups cooked rice
• 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese
• 1 cup salsa or pico de gallo
• ¼ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Add olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned and completely cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
2. Stir in beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
3. To assemble burritos, heat tortillas in microwave or in a dry skillet until warm. This will make them easier to work with.
4. Place some ground beef mixture and rice in the bottom third of a tortilla and top with cheese, salsa, and cilantro.
5. Fold sides of tortilla up and then tightly roll it all together.
6. Serve immediately, or “set” burrito in a 350 degrees oven for 5 minutes, or gently brown seam side-down in a dry skillet for a few minutes.

Leftover filling will keep in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Simply reheat the filling and build fresh burritos using warm tortillas when you’re ready to enjoy them.
