This Beef Broccoli Rice Burrito is a delicious fusion that perfectly balances flavors and textures, making it the ultimate comfort food for tonight!
Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, chop the broccoli into small florets. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
Add the broccoli to the skillet and pour in the soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes, letting the broccoli steam and become tender but still vibrant.
Once the rice is done, add it to the skillet and mix everything together, ensuring the rice is well combined with the beef and broccoli mixture.
To assemble the burritos, place a generous scoop of the beef, broccoli and rice mixture on a tortilla. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up from the bottom to completely enclose the filling.
Serve immediately or place the wrapped burritos on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to warm through and melt the cheese.
