Once the rice is cooked, add a handful of cilantro/coriander and the juice of half a lime. Fluff with a fork and mix well.

In another pan, brown 1.5KG extra lean beef mince with 0.5 diced brown onion.

To assemble each burrito, take one warm low carb tortilla. Equally distribute approximately 40g of the cooked rice onto the tortilla.
