BEEF, BLACK BEAN AND SPANISH RICE BURRITOS



Beef, Black Bean and Spanish Rice Burritos image

This is the first original recipe I've posted on this site, I'm so excited...It's one of the few meals that I literally just throw together, but I'll try to write it down. When our family eats tacos, we usually have homemade spanish rice, homemade refried beans and tacos. Tonight I had an epiphany....why not double what I normally make and make up some burritos with the leftovers and throw them in the freezer? I usually make this recipe from scratch because they taste that good, but why not cook once and eat twice? This will make a great OAMC meals also, though I haven't tried it yet. I'll give you the ingredients for making it from scratch, and if you decide to turn it into two meals, just double everything...If you don't have the spices separately, just use a taco mix pack. We like ours without salt and really spicy, so I tamed this back a bit. If you like a runny, non-chunky salsa, you don't have to add as much water.

Time 40m

Yield 8 burritos, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/4 teaspoon chili pepper flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons paprika
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup long grain rice
1 cup salsa
1 1/2 cups water
15 ounces black beans
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 teaspoon fresh garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup cheddar cheese or 1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese
8 flour tortillas
cooking spray
2 cups salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Start on the spanish rice first, as it will take the longest. In a pot, put rice, salsa and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for about 17-19 minutes.
  • 3. Begin to brown ground beef in a pan, add all seasoning and cook until browned. May need to drain fat, depending on how you like your beef. Don't worry about getting your meat a little spicier than you might normally like it, because combining all these will tame down your meat and make the overall meal better.
  • 4. While the meat is browning you can start the beans. In a sauce pan, heat up the oil. I drain almost all of the liquid out of the can and put it the pan. I add the garlic powder after the beans and real garlic before.
  • 5. When all are finished cooking, I mix in a large bowl and mix in the cheese. I spray a 9x13 pan. I fill the tortillas and wrap them up like burritos and put them in the pan. I put it in the oven for about 15 minutes. We usually just add salsa on top of it.
  • 6. If you're going to freeze, put in a plastic bag and lay flat in the freezer. I would thaw them out the day you're going to cook them. You may need to cook them a little longer if they're cold out of the refrigerator.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 8 burritos, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (15 ounce) can fat free black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large onion, finely grated
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon red chili powder
8 whole wheat tortillas
2 cups cooked brown rice
1 cup salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In large mixing bowl mash beans with grated onion.
  • Stir in chiles, cilantro and chili powder.
  • Spread tortillas out on counter and place equal amounts of the bean mixture on each one.
  • Top with 1/4 cup of cooked brown rice.
  • Fold in sides and roll tortilla to completely enclose contents.
  • (this is easier if you heat the tortillas for a few seconds on each side on your stove burner) Place all 8 burritos, seam side down, in a sprayed or nonstick baking pan.
  • Pour salsa evenly over the top and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
  • Garnish with shredded lowfat cheese and fat free sour cream.

Tips:

  • Soak the black beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a pot of water, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • You can use any type of rice for these burritos, but brown rice, jasmine rice, and basmati rice are all good choices.
  • If you want to make the burritos ahead of time, you can cook the rice and beans up to 3 days in advance. Just store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • When you're ready to assemble the burritos, warm the rice and beans in the microwave or on the stovetop. You can also add your favorite toppings, such as cheese, salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Conclusion:

Black bean and rice burritos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a healthy and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
