01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, stirring now and then, until it’s fully browned—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Once done, take the beef out and set it aside.

Step 2
In the same skillet, add the Knorr® Rice Sides™ Cheddar Broccoli mix, water, and beans. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium, cover, and let it cook for about 7 minutes, or until the rice is nice and tender. Stir the cooked beef back into the skillet, then take it off the heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. After that, mix in half a cup of salsa and half a cup of cheese.

Step 3
Grab your tortillas and spoon about three-quarters of a cup of the rice and beef mixture onto each one. Roll them up tightly.

Step 4
Grease a 13x9-inch baking dish and spread half a cup of salsa evenly on the bottom. Place the burritos seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining salsa over the top of the burritos, then sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. Cover everything tightly with foil and pop it in the oven for about 25 minutes, until it’s heated through and melty.

Step 5
When it’s done, sprinkle some chopped green onions on top for a fresh finish before serving.

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in foil and warm in the oven, or microwave until heated through. For longer storage, assemble without cheese and freeze the filling separately.
