Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • large skillet
  • Nonstick Skillet

Ingredients
  

Spanish Rice

  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup uncooked basmati rice rinsed
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup tomato sauce

Seasoned Beef

  • 1 Tbsp. neutral oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. ground cumin
  • ½ tsp. chili powder
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. paprika
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup tomato sauce

Instructions
 

Spanish Rice

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add garlic powder, salt, and onion powder and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 1 minute.
  • Add broth and sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover saucepan with a lid. Cook, undisturbed, for 17 minutes.
  • Uncover and fluff rice with a fork.

Seasoned Beef

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil.
  • Add ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, about 7 minutes.

Assembly

  • In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, arrange ¼ cup cheese in a line about the length of a burrito in the center of skillet.
  • Place a burrito, seam side down, directly on top of cheese. Once cheese starts to brown around the edges, gently flip burrito with a spatula, keeping cheese pressed to seam side of burrito.
  • Continue to cook until other side is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer burrito to a platter. Repeat with remaining burritos.
  • Serve burritos with sour cream and hot sauce alongside.
