Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning mix
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 0.5 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot, based on preference)
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. This should take about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and pour in the water. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the black beans and salsa. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through, then remove from heat.
Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable.
Place a warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the meat and bean mixture to the center.
Top the filling with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for easy transport or later serving.
