- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

- Combine cooked rice with salsa and sour cream in a separate mixing bowl, creating a creamy, zesty filling.
- Gently warm tortillas to enhance flexibility and prevent cracking during assembly.
- Strategically layer the tortilla with seasoned beef, creating an even distribution across the surface.
- Add the rice mixture on top of the beef, ensuring balanced coverage.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the rice for maximum melting potential.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly to create a compact burrito.
