# How-To:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until softened, 2 to 3 minutes, then add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
02 - Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.
03 - Incorporate cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the spices’ aroma.
04 - Stir in tomato paste and water, then simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until flexible and warm.
06 - Lay tortillas flat and divide rice, beans, beef mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream evenly across each. Optionally top with cilantro.
07 - Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose fillings.
08 - Serve immediately or toast seam-side down in a dry skillet for 2 minutes to crisp the exterior.
