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

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add vegetable oil.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Stir in the black beans and salsa. Cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through, then remove from heat.

Step 8

Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable.

Step 9

Place a warmed tortilla on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the meat and bean mixture to the center.

Step 10

Top the filling with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 12

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 13

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil for easy transport or later serving.
