Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 grater
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 aluminum foil or parchment paper if wrapping
  • 4 plates for serving

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (canned or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or lettuce for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
  • Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook the beef, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans, and corn. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until everything is heated through.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.
  • Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Scoop about 1 cup of the beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle with more cheese if desired, and top with salsa.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to the top to create a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beef mixture.
  • If desired, wrap each burrito in aluminum foil or parchment paper to help them hold their shape.
  • Serve with salsa, sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or lettuce on top.

Notes

You can customize your burritos using other fillings such as bell peppers, jalapeños, or avocado.
Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with your choice of cheese, like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added spice.
Leftover burritos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and they also freeze well for later use.
