Start by cooking 2 cups of rice with 1 teaspoon of salt and 3 and 3/4 cups of water in a rice maker.

Chop an onion and a jalapeno, removing the seeds from the jalapeno.

Add the chopped onion and jalapeno to a small sauté pan and cook until translucent for a few minutes.

In another sauté pan, add the other half of the chopped onion with 1 pound of ground beef and drizzle with oil; fry until fully cooked and golden brown.

Add a can of rinsed black beans to the pan with the jalapenos and onions, cooking until the beans are fully heated.

Once the ground beef is golden brown, add a packet of taco seasoning and 1/2 cup of water; cook until fully incorporated.

Once the rice is done, add fresh squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro to it.

Warm large flour tortillas in a pan with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese until heated.

Assemble the burritos on a sheet of aluminum foil with the fillings, including the rice, beef mixture, and a sprinkling of yellow corn.

Roll the burritos tightly in the aluminum foil.
