Method
1. Heat the first tablespoon of oil in a small saucepanover medium-high heat. Add the onion & garlic, stir and cook until just soft, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the rice, stock, tomato paste, jalapeno, paprika, and chilli. Stir to combine, then cover with lid, reduce the heat and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice with a fork.
3. In a medium sized, heavy based pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high, add the onion and garlic, stir and cook until just soft, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the mince, oregano, tomato paste, and paprika, stir thoroughly and cook through until meat starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Combine beans, corn, tomoato, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl and stir to combine.
6. Heat oven to 200°.
7. Lay out a square of aluminim foil larger than a tortilla, and lay a tortilla in the centre. On the lower third of the tortilla, spread 1/12th of the rice mixture, followed by 1/2th of the mince mixture on top of the rice, then 5 grams of the cheese, and then 1/12th of the bean mixture.
8. Start rolling the tortilla up from the bottom. Once it’s reached one full roll, roll the bottom section of the foil up from underneath, then continue rolling both the tortilla and the foil. Two thirds of the way, fold the overlapping sides of the foil inward, then continue rolling.
9. Repeat until you have 12 rolls. Place on a rack in the middle of the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
10. Spoon guacamole and sour cream into four ramekins.
11. Take burritos out of even and use a serrated knife to slice them in half, crosswise.
12. Place four burrito halves on a plate and serve with a ramekin and a teaspoon for spooning over the exposed end of each burrito.
Serves four.
