Instructions

1. Make the Chili Con Carne:
   1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
   2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
   3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

   5. Add the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
   6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and flavorful.
2. Assemble the Burritos:
   1. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable.
   2. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and add a generous amount of cooked rice in the center.
   3. Spoon a large portion of the chili con carne over the rice.
   4. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the chili.
   5. Add a dollop of sour cream and guacamole.
   6. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling completely.
3. Serve:
   1. Place the burritos on a serving plate.
   2. Top with salsa and fresh cilantro leaves.
   3. Serve immediately with additional sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side, if desired.
