Ingredients
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
500 g beef mince
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon mild chili powder
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons tomato puree
1 beef stock cube, crumbled
100 ml boiling water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 large tortillas
250 g microwave rice pouch
200 g fresh salsa
400 g black beans, drained and rinsed
125 g grated mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Heat sunflower oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add beef mince and cook for about 5 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned.
Add chopped onion, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and brown sugar. Cook for another 5 minutes until the onion softens.
Stir in tomato puree, crumbled stock cube, boiling water, salt, and black pepper.
Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water if needed.
Heat tortillas and microwave rice according to package instructions.
Lay tortillas flat and evenly divide the rice, beef mixture, salsa, black beans, and mozzarella cheese among them.
Roll burritos tightly by folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom upward.
Optional Crispy Finish
Serve immediately as soft burritos, OR wrap in foil and bake at 200°C fan (400°F) for 10 minutes until lightly crisp.
Alternatively, pan-fry burritos in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden on all sides.
Notes
Mexican-flavored rice adds extra flavor, but plain rice works too. Add jalapeños, sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce for extra toppings and spice.
