- 2 (1.25 oz) packets taco seasoning divided
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- 1 (16 oz) can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 1 (8.5 oz) pouch Ben’s Original Ready Rice Cilantro Lime Rice cooked according to bag directions, about 2 cups cooked rice*
- 1 (8 oz) bag Mexican blend shredded cheese
- Salt to taste, I used 1/2 teaspoon
- 6 burrito sized flour tortillas
- 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (15 oz) jar queso
Topping Suggestions

- Pico de Gallo
- Guacamole

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Place beef and 1 packet taco seasoning into a large sauté pan, then cook over medium heat, breaking up the meat as you go, until the beef is no longer pink.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set aside in a very large bowl.
- Add oil to the hot pan and grease, then add in the onion and peppers and cook until the desired texture is reached (I like crisp-tender for a little texture in my burritos), then place into the bowl with the beef.
- To the bowl, stir in the remaining packet of taco seasoning, beans, cooked rice, cheese, and salt, then taste and re-season, if necessary.
- Fill each tortilla with a scant 1 1/2 cups filling, fold and roll into a burrito shape, then place seam side down into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, cover evenly with the enchilada sauce and queso, then bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the filling is hot.
- Remove from the oven, serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
