Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 lb ground beef or shredded chicken
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup spicy verde sauce (tomatillo salsa verde with jalapeños)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped green onions, jalapeño slices

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef or shredded chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Warm the flour tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
  4. Assemble each burrito by layering cooked rice, black beans, the cooked meat, shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, and fresh cilantro in the center of each tortilla.
  5. Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides to enclose the filling completely.
  6. Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish.
  7. Pour the spicy verde sauce evenly over the burritos until they are fully covered.
  8. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top of the sauced burritos.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with sour cream and optional toppings like sliced avocado or jalapeños if desired.

Notes

For extra heat, add pickled jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce on top before serving. These burritos also freeze well—just cover with foil and reheat in the oven.
