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
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and swirl to coat the pan.
- Add the ground beef and press it out into a ½-inch thickness. Sizzle for 3 to 4 minutes until a crust forms.
- Sprinkle the spices over the beef and add the diced onion. Break up the meat with a spoon and cook until it is fully cooked through, about 4 more minutes.
- Stir in the black beans and salsa, cooking for about 1 minute until warmed through, and adjust seasoning to taste.
- To assemble: place a tortilla on your work surface, add cheese down the center, top with a sixth of the beef mixture, and sprinkle more cheese on top.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center and roll it up tightly. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
- Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown each burrito on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot with toppings.
Notes
You can customize your burrito with additional toppings like guacamole or pico de gallo.
