  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or neutral cooking oil of choice
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 small yellow or white onion ¼-inch diced
  • 1 (15-ounce) can reduced-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup prepared salsa
  • 6 burrito-size flour tortillas about 10 inches
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded monterey jack, sharp cheddar, or mexican blend cheese
  • sour cream
  • avocado
  • hot sauce
  • chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the oil to coat the pan, then add the ground beef. Press the beef into a 1/2-inch thickness and let it sizzle for 3 to 4 minutes until a crust forms.
  2. Sprinkle the beef with chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add the diced onion. Break up the meat into small pieces with a spoon or spatula, then continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked, about 4 minutes more.
  3. Stir in the black beans and salsa. Cook until the mixture thickens and the beans are warmed through, about 1 minute. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. To assemble, place a tortilla on a flat surface and add about 3 tablespoons of cheese down the center. Add a sixth of the beef and bean mixture on top, then add another 3 tablespoons of cheese.
  5. Fold the opposite sides of the tortilla up and in towards the center, then roll it up tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  6. To serve, heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place a burrito seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden, then flip and brown the other side. Let cool for a few minutes before serving with desired toppings.

You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option.
For extra spice, add hot sauce directly into the filling before wrapping.
