# Directions:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
02 - Add ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up with a spoon, until browned completely, approximately 5-6 minutes.
03 - Stir in cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
04 - Add tomato paste and water, stirring to combine. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
05 - Warm tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until pliable for easy rolling.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat. Layer with 1/4 each of rice, beans, beef mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro if using.
07 - Fold in both sides, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling completely.
08 - For a crispier exterior, toast burritos seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes before serving.
