Macros are for one serving as written. Make gives you more servings of the same size; Portion resizes one serving and moves the macros with it.

Ingredients

  • 180g (6.5 oz) ground beef, 90% lean
  • 1 large flour tortilla (70g)
  • 120g (3/5 cup) black beans, drained
  • 60g (1/4 cup) white rice, dry
  • 40g (1/3 cup) cheddar, grated
  • 40g (3 tbsp) salsa
  • 6g (2 cloves) garlic, minced
  • 15ml (1 tbsp) lime juice
  • 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, coriander

Method

  1. Cook the rice: 60g to 120ml / 1/2 cup water, covered, 12 min, then 10 min off the heat. Fork the lime juice through it.
  2. Brown the beef in a dry hot pan, undisturbed 3 min, then break it up and finish browning.
  3. Add the garlic and all the dry spices for 60 seconds, then the beans and salsa, and cook 3 min until thick.
  4. Let the filling cool for 5 min before it goes near the tortilla. Steaming hot filling turns the wrap into wet paper.
  5. Warm the tortilla 15 seconds a side so it folds without splitting.
  6. Lay the cheese down FIRST, against the tortilla, then the rice, then the beef mixture. The cheese melts into a seal that keeps the moisture off the wrap.
  7. Fold the two ends in, then roll tight from the side nearest you.
  8. Sear the seam side down in a dry pan for 90 seconds to glue it shut, then wrap in foil and cut on the diagonal.

Tip: sear the finished burrito seam-side down. Ninety seconds welds it closed and gives you the toasted stripe that makes it look like a taqueria made it.
