COOKBOOK / 31583
Start by heating your oven to 350°F. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, stirring now and then, until it’s fully browned, about 5 minutes. Once done, take the beef out of the pan and set it aside.
Using the same skillet, add the Knorr® Rice Sides™ Cheddar Broccoli mix, water, and beans. Bring everything to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium, cover, and let it cook for about 7 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Stir the cooked beef back into the skillet, then take it off the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Mix in half a cup of salsa and half a cup of cheese until everything is combined.
Grab your tortillas and spoon about three-quarters of a cup of the rice and beef mixture onto each one. Roll them up tightly. Next, spread half a cup of salsa evenly in the bottom of a greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Place the burritos seam-side down in the dish.
Pour the remaining salsa down the center of the burritos and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until everything is heated through. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with some chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
- Use fresh broccoli for the best texture and flavor.
- Cook the beef thoroughly but avoid overcooking to keep it juicy.
- Warm the tortillas before assembling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
This dish combines savory beef, tender broccoli, and creamy cheddar in a warm, soft tortilla. It’s packed with flavor and textures that satisfy every bite. Plus, it’s a quick and easy meal perfect for busy weeknights.
Serve with a side of salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for added creaminess and zest. A simple green salad or Mexican rice pairs well to complete the meal. You can also add a squeeze of lime for a fresh, tangy finish.
Wrap leftovers tightly in foil or place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven or microwave until heated through, adding a little water to keep the filling moist.
