Instructions
Preparing the Beef Filling
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef and cook until it is browned and thoroughly cooked. Break it apart using a spatula
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Season the beef with chopped garlic, salt, cumin powder, freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and chili flakes.
- Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assembling the Burritos
- Warm the wheat tortillas slightly for a few seconds to make rolling easier.
- Place a large tortilla on a clean surface and add a dollop of sour cream in the center.
- Add a portion of the seasoned ground beef, followed by cooked beans, a layer of grated cheddar cheese, chipotle salsa, and chopped fresh coriander, ensuring not to overload.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito and wrap in foil.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
- You can serve them as they are or heat them up in a preheated oven at 180℃ (356 ℉) for 20 to 25 minutes.

Notes
- Opt for ground beef with a 15% fat content for a flavorful and juicy filling, and skip the olive oil, as it will release enough fat to sauté the onions.
- If you have leftover shredded beef, it's a fantastic substitute for ground beef, adding a different texture to your burrito.
- Warm the large flour tortillas for a few seconds before using them to make them more pliable.
- While my recipe uses a mix of salt, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and chili flakes, feel free to use your favorite taco seasoning blend.
- Roll the burritos tightly, ensuring the sides are tucked in as you go to avoid any filling from spilling out.
- If you're not freezing the leftovers, they make a convenient and delicious option for packed lunches or picnics.
