Beef and Bean Burritos

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles. Add ground beef and stir well to cook evenly until nicely browned, about 6-8 minutes. Break up the beef into small pieces to help even cooking and browning.

Step 2

Add all seasoning including cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit, stirring occasionally. Turn off heat and set aside.

Step 3

On each tortilla wrap, add 2-3 tablespoons beef, 1/4 cup cooked rice, lettuce, corn, black beans, tomato, onion, cilantro and cheese in the centre. Drizzle on top with sour cream and lime juice, to taste.

Step 4

Fold up the bottom to cover the filling, fold the edges and roll up tightly to seal. Make sure all corners are tightly sealed. Then, wrap each burrito tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 5

Heat the burritos in a skillet over the stove, or bake in the oven.On the stovetop: Heat the burritos in foil on a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Step 6

In the oven: Bake the burritos in foil in a preheated 350 F oven for 20-25 minutes until warmed through and the cheese is melted inside.
