Ingredients Mexican Beef Burrito Recipe
Ingredients:
- Beef (preferably flank or skirt steak) - 500g
- Large flour tortillas - 4
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp
- Onion, finely chopped - 1
- Garlic cloves, minced - 2
- Cumin powder - 1 tsp
- Paprika - 1 tsp
- Chili powder (adjust to taste) - 1 tsp
- Canned black beans, drained and rinsed - 400g
- Corn kernels (fresh or canned) - 1 cup
- Fresh cilantro, chopped - a handful
- Grated cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend) - 200g
- Salt and pepper - to taste
- Optional: jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole, salsa
Instructions:
- Prepare the Beef: Season the beef with salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, and chili powder. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the beef until browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, and sauté the onion and garlic until soft and fragrant.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the black beans and corn to the pan, stirring well. Cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
- Assemble Burritos: Warm the tortillas (to make them more pliable). Lay a tortilla flat, and in the center, place some beef, bean and corn mixture, a sprinkle of cheese, and any optional ingredients you like.
- Roll the Burrito: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking the edges in as you go, to form a neat package.
- Final Touch: If desired, heat a clean pan and lightly toast each burrito on all sides for a crispy exterior.
- Serve: Cut in half and serve with additional toppings like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa, if desired.
Enjoy your culinary creation, a fusion of zesty flavors and heartwarming comfort, perfect for any meal of the day. And remember, the magic of a burrito lies in the personal touch, so feel free to tweak the recipe to your liking!
