Recipe Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your choice)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Sliced avocado
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Sliced green onions
  • Sliced black olives
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Hot sauce or salsa

Recipe Instructions: Instructions: 1. **Prepare the Fillings:** Make sure all your ingredients (rice, beans, vegetables, meat/tofu) are cooked and warm. Season them to your taste with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. 2. **Warm the Tortillas:** Heat your tortillas in a microwave for about 20-30 seconds or on a hot skillet for 10-15 seconds on each side. This makes them more pliable and less likely to tear when you wrap your burritos. 3. **Assemble the Burritos:** Lay a warm tortilla flat on a plate or a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, add a scoop of rice, beans, your choice of protein, grilled vegetables, and cheese. Be careful not to overfill the tortilla to ensure it can be closed properly. 4. **Add Toppings:** On top of your base ingredients, add a spoonful of salsa, a dollop of sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and some guacamole. If you like, sprinkle some fresh cilantro over everything for added flavor. 5. **Fold the Burrito:** Start by folding the sides of the tortilla toward the center. Then, fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the fillings and roll it tightly towards the top to close the burrito. If necessary, you can wrap it in aluminum foil to help it hold its shape. 6. **Final Touch:** You can either eat the burrito as is, or for a crispy exterior, place it on a hot skillet for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. 7. **Serve:** Cut the burrito in half, if desired, and serve with extra salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on the side. Enjoy your homemade burrito! You can mix and match ingredients based on your preferences or dietary restrictions.
