Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the Cheddar Broccoli Rice Side, water, and kidney beans into the skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 7 minutes, or until the rice is tender. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa and 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon about 3/4 cup of the beef and rice mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Spread the remaining 1/2 cup salsa evenly in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Arrange the burritos seam-side down in the dish. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Spoon the remaining salsa down the center of the burritos, then sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the burritos are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. (25 minutes)

09

Step

Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef.
Feel free to add other vegetables, such as diced bell peppers or corn, to the rice mixture.
For a vegetarian option, omit the ground beef and add a can of drained and rinsed black beans.
These burritos can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
