Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 5 (6-inch) flour tortillas, cut into strips
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
For Serving
- Sour cream
- Chopped red onion
- Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, brown and crumble the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Add Seasonings and Simmer: Add the taco seasoning packet, water, salsa, and diced green chiles to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine and simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Incorporate Beans, Cheese, and Tortillas: Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans. Then add half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend and mix well until slightly melted. Next, stir in the tortilla strips evenly through the mixture. Remove the skillet from heat at this point.
- Add Final Cheese Topping: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the skillet mixture to create a cheesy layer that will melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Serve: Spoon the burrito skillet into bowls or plates and serve with sour cream, chopped red onion, and fresh cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
Notes
- For a spicier dish, use hot salsa and add a pinch of chili powder.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute the flour tortillas with corn tortillas or gluten-free tortilla strips.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve a larger crowd.
- If you want to add extra veggies, consider stirring in diced bell peppers or corn along with the beans.
