1. Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your beef burritos.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Break it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
3. Add diced onions and minced garlic to the skillet, stirring until the beef is browned and the onions soften.
4. Mix in taco seasoning and a splash of beef broth, allowing the mixture to simmer and the flavors to meld.
5. Stir in drained beans and half the cheese, continuing to mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
6. Cook the rice according to package instructions. If desired, prepare cilantro-lime rice by mixing cooked rice with fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro.
7. Chop fresh vegetables such as tomatoes and lettuce and prepare additional toppings like guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
8. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
9. Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with the beef mixture, rice, remaining cheese, and other desired toppings.
10. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the fillings, then roll it tightly to form a burrito.
11. Repeat the process with remaining tortillas and fillings.
12. Serve the burritos immediately while warm for optimal flavor.
13. If desired, refrigerate or freeze leftover burritos for later use.
14. To freeze, allow burritos to cool to room temperature, wrap them individually in plastic wrap and foil, and store in a resealable freezer bag or airtight container.
15. To reheat, unwrap the burrito, place it in the microwave under a damp paper towel, and heat in 1-minute increments until warm. Alternatively, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
16. Enjoy your homemade beef burritos with complementary side dishes like Mexican rice, refried beans, or a fresh salad.
