Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the protein is evenly coated. Add a splash of water if the mixture seems too dry.

While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package instructions.

Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Spread a layer of warmed beans down the center of the tortilla, leaving a couple of inches of space at the sides and ends.

Top the beans with a layer of cooked rice (if using).

Spoon the seasoned protein over the rice and beans.

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the protein.

Add salsa or pico de gallo.

If desired, add sour cream or guacamole.

Fold in the two sides of the tortilla towards the center.

Fold up the bottom edge tightly over the filling, tucking it underneath.

Roll the burrito tightly away from you until it is completely sealed.

For a crispy exterior, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled burritos seam-down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Serve the burritos immediately with your favorite toppings.
