Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
1 ½ cups refried beans (or 1 ½ cups drained and rinsed black beans)
¾ cup corn kernels
3 cups cooked rice ((I like to use Uncle Ben's microwaveable Ready Rice for a quick option))
6 large (10-inch) flour tortillas ((I like to use Mission brand "burrito size" tortillas))
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Optional garnish: finely diced red onion; lettuce; diced tomato or salsa; sour cream; fresh cilantro; avocado or guacamole

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Cook beef with taco seasoning mix, according to seasoning package instructions.
  • To prepare 1 burrito: spread ¼ cup beans down center of tortillas; top with ½ cup rice, beef, 2 tablespoons corn, and ¼ cup cheese.
  • Fold in opposite sides of each tortilla, then roll up, burrito style. Place, seam-sides down, in prepared dish. Repeat with remaining ingredients to prepare 6 total burritos.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes (until heated through). If you are baking the burritos from the refrigerator while they're still cold, it will take about 30-35 minutes for them to heat through.

Time 45m

Yield Makes 8/serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tbsp sunflower oil
1 onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
small pinch of cayenne pepper (more if you want it spicier)
1 tsp dried oregano
500g beef mince
pinch of golden caster sugar
1 tbsp wine vinegar or cider vinegar
400g can chopped tomatoes
400g can black beans or kidney beans, with the can water
8 flour or corn tortillas
500g cooked rice, or our Mexican tomato rice (see recipe below right)
a selection of sliced avocado or guacamole, chopped tomatoes, soured cream, shredded lettuce, sliced red onion, grated cheddar, sliced red chilli and lime halves, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pan - a casserole is ideal. Fry the onions for 8 mins, then add the garlic, spices and oregano and cook for 1 min. Crumble over the mince and sizzle for 5 mins, stirring, until browned. Stir in the sugar and leave for a minute, then splash in the vinegar and pour in the tomatoes.
  • Simmer for 5 mins then tip in the beans and the water from the can. Season, stir and simmer everything for 20 mins until the beef is in a thick gravy. The sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, chilled and reheated with a splash of water or frozen for 6 months.
  • To make the burritos, heat the tortillas following pack instructions. Pile some rice and beef sauce along each tortilla and scatter over your choice of topping. Fold over the ends and roll up to seal. Secure by wrapping with foil if you want. Eat immediately.

  • Warm your tortillas before using them. This will make them even more pliable and easier to work with.
  • Don't overload your burritos. Overloading your burritos will make them difficult to roll up and eat.
