Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a leaner option)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.5 cup hot salsa
• 0.25 cup pickled jalapeños, chopped
• 4 pieces large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
• 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes, breaking apart any large chunks with a wooden spoon.

Step 2

Drain any excess grease from the skillet and return it to the heat.

Step 3

Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to the cooked beef. Stir to combine and toast the spices for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans and hot salsa. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet for about 20–30 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 6

To assemble each burrito, lay a tortilla flat and spoon 1/4 of the beef and bean mixture into the center. Top with shredded pepper jack cheese, chopped pickled jalapeños, shredded romaine lettuce, and a dollop of sour cream. Add hot sauce if desired for extra heat.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or lightly toast the burritos in a dry skillet or grill pan for 1–2 minutes per side for a crisp exterior.
