→ For Assembly
20 - 4 large (10-12 inch) flour tortillas
# Directions:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2-3 minutes until softened, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
02 - Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until fully browned, approximately 5-6 minutes.
03 - Incorporate cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper into the beef mixture. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute to release flavors.
04 - Stir in tomato paste and water. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, then remove from heat.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until flexible and warm to avoid tearing during assembly.
06 - Place each tortilla flat and layer evenly with rice, beans, beef mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a spoonful of sour cream. Add cilantro if desired.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the fillings securely.
08 - For a crisp exterior, toast burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before serving.
