Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 can low sodium black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 pieces large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 medium fresh tomato, diced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup low sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until soft.
Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Break the meat apart with a spatula and cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro.
Warm the tortillas in a clean skillet or microwave until pliable.
Assemble the burritos by laying a warm tortilla flat and evenly distributing the beef mixture across the center of each tortilla.
Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, and low sodium shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll the burrito tightly from the bottom up.
Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap each burrito in foil to keep warm.
