Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 15 oz can of diced tomatoes
- 15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 cup water or beef broth
- 6 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup salsa (optional, for serving)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (including juices), black beans, and water or broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and is well combined.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
Spoon about 1/2 cup of the chili mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and any additional toppings like sour cream or salsa if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy your homemade chili burritos!
