Instructions
Preparing the Sauce
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about a minute to create a roux.
- Slowly and gradually pour in the chicken stock or beef stock while whisking vigorously to prevent any lumps from forming.
- Stir in the red enchilada sauce, add the salt, and allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
Cooking the Beef Filling
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- When hot, add the ground beef and cook until it's browned and fully cooked through.
- Stir in the diced onion and chopped green chili. Sauté until onions are translucent.
- Add the taco seasoning and give them a good mix. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assembling and Rolling the Burritos
- Preheat the oven to 180℃ (360℉).
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Place a tortilla on a clean surface.
- Spread some of the beef filling mixture in the center.
- Top the beef filling with a scoop of black beans followed by a spoonful of Mexican rice.
- Sprinkle a little shredded mozzarella and chopped fresh coriander leaves on top.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a burrito.
- Continue the process until you have used all the filling ingredients.
Cooking and Serving
- Place the prepared wet burritos seam-side down in an oven-safe dish.
- Bake the burritos for 15 minutes, then remove them from the oven.
- Pour the sauce over the burritos, spread the remaining shredded cheese, and bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes
- Choose ground beef with around 15% fat content for a flavorful and juicy filling.
- Just before you start filling the burritos, give the tortillas a quick 20-second warm-up in the microwave. This gentle warming makes the tortillas more pliable, ensuring they fold easily and won't tear when you're rolling up the burritos.
- Ensure all fillings are hot before assembling to minimize baking time.
- Roll burritos tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to prevent filling from spilling out.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
