Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 large flour tortillas, warmed

Directions

Step 1
Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in melted butter until onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg; cook, stirring often, for 2 more minutes.

Step 3
Stir in black beans and tomato sauce, then bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro. Let sit until cilantro wilts, about 5 minutes.

Step 4
Fill warm tortillas with bean mixture and rice.

Recipe Tip

Heat tortillas in the microwave, in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, or wrapped in aluminum foil in a preheated oven at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) until warmed through.

    Bobikel likes his burritos pretty spicy…but for us I just knew I needed to reduce all the spices by about half. I just did some good shakes of the cloves and nutmeg, which actually to my surprise were a nice addition. I thought the chili powder and cayenne could be reduced even more, but my son loved them as they were, my husband agreed with me. I mixed the rice and beans together at the end to thicken the bean mixture up, which was a bit soupy by itself. We topped with all the taco fixens. Pretty easy meal and we did enjoy the burritos.
