Beef Burrito

About this Beef Burrito

A burrito is a complete meal wrapped up in a tortilla: seasoned beef, rice, beans, cheese and something fresh and crunchy. They are simple to make in a batch, hold together well and are good packed up for lunch. The only skill is the fold.

How to prepare Beef Burrito

1. 1

   Cook the rice in a pan of salted water according to the packet, then drain and keep warm.

2. 2

   Fry the mince in a large pan over a high heat for 8-10 minutes, breaking it up, until browned with no pink remaining. Spoon off any extra fat and season with the salt.

3. 3

   Stir in the kidney beans and half the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, until the tomato has softened and the mixture is no longer wet.

4. 4

   Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for 20 seconds each side, or in the microwave under a damp tea towel, so they bend without cracking.

5. 5

   Lay a tortilla flat. Add a line of rice just below the centre, then the beef and bean mixture, a sprinkle of cheese, and the shredded lettuce and remaining tomato.

6. 6

   Fold the sides in, then fold the bottom edge up and over the filling, tucking it in tightly as you roll.

7. 7

   Toast the burrito seam-side down in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes each side to seal it and melt the cheese. Cut in half to serve.
