Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 can (15 ounces, drained and rinsed) canned kidney beans
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup water
- 6 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup (chopped, optional) fresh cilantro
- as needed for serving (optional) hot sauce
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion softens, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the kidney beans, diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and water. Mix well to combine.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the chili simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
5. Warm the flour tortillas either in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side or in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 15-20 seconds.
6. To assemble the burritos, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the chili into the center of the tortilla.
7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chili and add a dollop of sour cream. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a few drops of hot sauce if desired.
8. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly into a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
9. Serve the burritos warm with additional toppings or a side of salsa, if preferred. Enjoy!
