This Beef Burrito Skillet is a Mexican favorite that’ll be on your table in less than 30 minutes!

Wow! Life has been super busy lately. And I don’t know about you guys, but when life is busy, dinner isn’t something I want to fret about. I want something tasty and I want it quick!

Today’s Beef Burrito Skillet to the rescue! It’s beyond yummy and on your table in less than 30 minutes.

I actually made this delicious skillet with my son Casey in mind. Casey loves Chipotle’s burritos.

What is a burrito?

If you’ve never enjoyed a burrito, it’s a Mexican dish that consists of a flour tortilla that’s filled with a savory filling of beef, chicken or pork in addition to rice, beans, cheese, tomatoes, onions, peppers and condiments such as salsa, guacamole or crema. It’s stuffed and then rolled into a cylindrical shape.

Well, this Beef Burrito Skillet is everything inside the flour tortilla  whipped up in a pan and served naked! No. You’re not the one who’s naked. The burrito’s naked. No flour tortilla. Just the filling!

I’ve browned up some ground beef and chopped yellow onion. Drained the fat and then added one package of my favorite taco seasoning, some water, pinto beans, two cups brown rice and a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. You’ll bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for a few minutes before adding some shredded cheddar-jack and serving.

I mean can things get any easier??

I serve mine with some sour cream, cilantro leaves, extra cheese and a nice cold beer! This is perfect for those busy weeknights, weekly meal prep or for your weekend football parties.

Hope you guys give it a go. Enjoy!

A few other Mexican favorites here at the BHK are my Cheesy Queso Fiesta Rice and my Easy Beef Enchiladas.

A Few Cook’s Notes for Beef Burrito Skillet Recipe:

I used one 10 ounce can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies, but you could also substitute plain petite diced tomatoes. I love the added flavor of the green chilies.

To make this recipe really easy, I used one 8.8-oz. package of already cooked Minute Brown Rice that’s in the little cups. If you can’t find that at your local market, you can just use 2 cups of cooked brown rice.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 1-oz. package taco seasoning
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 10-oz. can Rotel tomatoes and green chilies, undrained

Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and onion, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent. Drain.

  2. Add the taco seasoning, water, tomatoes with green chilies, pinto beans and rice. Bring to a boil.
