- Yields:
-
8 burritos
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 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)
directions
- 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.

I love to cook and try new recipes. My husband is a great guinea pig! He will always eat what I make, regardless of how it tastes...I strive to make it well each time though. Could never live up to has grandma's cooking, but I try...and apparently I'm getting closer to hers every day!
