Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and ½ cup of water. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the seasoning to coat the beef and the sauce to thicken.
- Stir in the black beans and cooked rice, cooking until heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
- Place a generous portion of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then add a spoonful of salsa or pico de gallo. Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to encase the filling.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the rolled burritos in the air fryer basket seam-side down and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. If you don't have an air fryer, you can use a skillet. Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil or butter. Place the rolled burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
- Serve the burritos with a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro. Lime wedges on the side add a bright, tangy flavor.
