Description

These Super Burritos are a comforting, protein-packed meal that brings classic home-style flavor to your table. Featuring a savory filling of seasoned ground beef, tender green chilies, and a hearty mix of long-grain rice and pinto beans, this dish is perfect for weeknight dinners or family gatherings. The combination of textures from the fluffy rice to the rich meat mixture creates a satisfying bite in every roll. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, this recipe yields twelve burritos, making it ideal for meal prep or freezing for later.

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the drained pinto beans, long grain rice, salt, chicken stock, and 2 1/4 cups of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and tender.
  4. Remove the rice and bean mixture from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned.
  6. Drain any excess fat from the cooked hamburger meat.
  7. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, Anaheim green chili, serrano chili, and minced garlic to the skillet.
  8. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and peppers are tender.
  9. Stir in the chili powder, black pepper, and salt.
  10. Add 1.2 cups of water to the skillet to prevent sticking and help combine the flavors.
  11. Continue cooking until the vegetables are fully cooked and the liquid has reduced slightly.
  12. Remove the skillet from heat.
  13. Fold the prepared rice and bean mixture into the beef and vegetable mixture.
  14. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture is thick.
  15. Warm the flour tortillas slightly in the microwave.
  16. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of each tortilla and roll tightly to form burritos.
