1 pound of ground beef
05 -
1 teaspoon of chili powder

09 -
Half a cup of cooked rice
10 -
Half a cup of diced tomatoes (drain if using canned)
11 -
1/4 cup sour cream
12 -
1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese
13 -
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
14 -
1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro (if you’re into it)
→ Assembly
15 -
4 big flour tortillas
16 -
1 tablespoon of butter
# Steps:
01 -
Put a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the onion and cook for a couple of minutes until it softens, then mix in the garlic for 30 seconds. Drop in the ground beef and cook until it’s nice and browned (around 6–8 minutes). Get rid of any extra grease.
02 -
Add the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and some salt and pepper to the skillet. Stir in the diced tomatoes and cooked rice. Give it a good mix and cook for another 2 minutes. Take off the heat and mix in the sour cream.
03 -
Warm up those tortillas slightly. Sprinkle both shredded cheese types onto the middle of each tortilla, then add a hefty scoop of the meat mixture. Sprinkle some more cheese and, if you like, top with cilantro. Fold in the sides and roll them up tightly from the bottom to make your burritos.
04 -
Grab a fresh skillet or griddle and heat it on medium. Melt a small bit of butter, then place your burritos seam-side down. Cook each side for about 2–3 minutes, just until golden, crispy, and the cheese gets all melted.
05 -
Slice those burritos in half and dig in! Serve them alongside salsa or guacamole if you’d like.
