Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lb. (450g) ground beef
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup (60ml) beef stock or water
- 4-5 flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons cooked rice per tortilla
- Corn

Directions:
1. Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to high, add the ground beef, and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the paprika, oregano, cumin, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Mix in the tomato paste until well combined, then add the beef stock or water. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Assemble the Burritos:
- Place a tortilla on a clean working surface. Layer 2 tablespoons of cooked rice in the center.
- Add 3-4 tablespoons of the beef mixture on top of the rice.
- Sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons of corn and 1-2 teaspoons of beans.
- Top with chopped lettuce, chopped tomato, and a generous amount of grated cheese.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll it tightly to form a burrito.
3. Toast the Burritos:
- Heat a dry pan over high heat. Toast each burrito from all sides until golden and crispy.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the burritos warm, accompanied by your favorite salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
