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

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Layer the flour tortillas directly on top of the beef mixture in the skillet, slightly overlapping to cover the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Spread the black beans evenly over the tortillas, followed by a layer of diced tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and cilantro, if using.

Step 9

Serve directly from the pan, scooping portions onto plates. Top with sour cream, salsa, or additional toppings as desired.
