Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cooked black beans
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (for topping)
- 0.5 cup salsa (for topping)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and the mixture thickens.
Layer the flour tortillas directly on top of the beef mixture in the skillet, slightly overlapping to cover the bottom of the pan.
Spread the black beans evenly over the tortillas, followed by a layer of diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro, if using.
Serve directly from the pan, scooping portions onto plates. Top with sour cream, salsa, or additional toppings as desired.
