The Burrito Ultimo is a delicious, flavorful, and filling dish that has become popular in many parts of the world. It's a tortilla stuffed with meat, rice, beans, and cheese and is commonly found in Mexican restaurants. The Burrito Ultimo typically serves as a complete meal in itself and can be customized to cater to a variety of tastes, preferences, and dietary restrictions.

Instructions

1.Start by cooking the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Add the onions, garlic, chili powder, and cumin, and cook until fragrant.
2.Add in the sliced jalapenos (reserve some for garnish) and a splash of the reserved liquid from the can. Stir to combine the flavors.
3.Rinse the rice well and add it to the skillet along with the beef broth, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
4.Warm up the refried beans in a saucepan on low heat for about 5 minutes.
5.To assemble the burrito, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the beans on the bottom half of the tortilla, then add 2-3 tablespoons of the rice mixture and some shredded cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6.Bake the burritos in the oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
7.Serve the burritos topped with some sour cream, guacamole, sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, and salsa for added flavor.
