Start with a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the diced onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. This creates a sweet, aromatic base.

Next up, throw in the minced garlic followed by the lean ground beef. Cook until the beef browns and breaks apart. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. This step enhances flavor development.

Season the beef with your taco spice blend, smoked paprika, salt, and tomato paste. Stir well. This is your flavor booster! Slowly add the broth to keep it moist and prevent burning.

Incorporate the steamed rice and seasoned black beans. Fold gently until everything is well-mixed and heated through. This step ensures you have a comforting filling.

Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry pan or microwave. This way, they become pliable and easier to fold. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Lay a tortilla flat. Add a generous scoop of the beef mixture in the center. Top with pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and cilantro.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards and roll it from the base up. Secure it tightly but be wary of overstuffing it. Place the seam side down on your plate.
