Description
These Loaded Cheesy Southwest Beef Burritos are packed with seasoned ground beef, melty cheddar, rice, beans, and veggies, all wrapped in warm tortillas and toasted to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 ½ cups cooked white rice
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup canned corn, drained
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
- Add taco seasoning and a splash of water to the beef. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions.
- Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle a layer of cheddar cheese. Add beef mixture, rice mixture, and a spoonful of sour cream.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- Heat a clean nonstick skillet over medium heat. Toast each burrito seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Let rest for a minute before serving. Add extra toppings if desired.
Notes
- Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
- Don’t overfill to avoid messy burritos.
- To freeze, wrap in foil and label for later reheating.
- Try swapping in different cheeses or proteins for variation.
