    How to make this juicy shredded beef burrito

    If you don't have the pulled beef already made, check this post and make it.

    If you already have it, then you only need to follow a few super simple steps!

    PREPARE ALL THE INGREDIENTS

    Boil or steam the rice. You might want to check this post about how to make steam rice (don't add the star anise though!). Chop the lettuce, jalapenos and coriander, and smash the avo with a bit of lime juice and salt. Heat up the beef either in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.

    MAKE THE BURRITO

    Tortilla on top of foil, with all the ingredients on top

    Lay foil on a flat surface and add the tortilla on top. Add all the ingredients on top: start with the avocado, rice and lettuce. Add the beef on top to avoid the tortilla getting soggy. Roll the burrito and wrap it in foil. Optional to heat it up either in a sandwich press or in the stove.

    HOW TO WRAP A BURRITO

    This can be challenging, let's be honest! But if you follow the steps on the photos below, you will be sweet. Wrap the sides towards the middle. Then wrap the bottom towards the middle. Using your fingers, bring all the filling towards the middle, and fold the tortilla completely.

    How to wrap a burrito step 2 Wrap the bottom towards the middle
    How to wrap a burrito step 3 Bring all the filling using your fingers towards the middle, and fold the burrito completely

    Tip: don't overload the burrito, otherwise it might be super difficult to wrap it properly. I know it can be tempting, but trust me here, unless you want to end up with a messy-as burrito 😌

    Substitutions & variations

    • Kidney beans - instead of black beans

    • Mayo or sriracha mayo - is a great addition!!
    • Cheese - either dairy-free or with dairy if you don't have intolerance
    • Roast capsicum - would work fantastic

    Why you will love this shredded beef burrito

    • Super juicy and tender
    • Ready in no time!
    • Gluten-free & dairy-free
    • Budget-friendly
    • Always a crowd favourite

    Storage

    Store the leftover beef in an airtight container in the fridge. If the beef is just made, it can last up to 5-7 days in the fridge, or 3 months in the freezer.

    Store the veggies, rice and beans in airtight containers, or in bowls covered with wax paper or foil. Consume within 3 days.

    Top tip to make the best juicy shredded beef burrito!

    Don't overload the burrito, otherwise it might be super difficult to wrap it properly. I know it can be tempting, but trust me here, unless you want to end up with a messy-as burrito 😌

    Wrap the burrito in foil, this will make it way less messy to eat, as the shredded beef can release a lot of juice.

    FAQ

    What cut of meat is best for shredded beef?

    Chuck roast or beef brisket are the best cuts to make slow-cooked pulled beef for burritos. They are both very flavourful and end up very tender when slow-cooked properly.
