Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook 12 oz ground beef until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Add 1/2 cup diced onion and 1/2 cup diced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 1 tsp chili powder; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 15 oz drained black beans and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Step 4: Warm 4 flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side. Divide the beef-bean mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each with 1/4 cup shredded cheese and 2 tbsp salsa.
  5. Step 5: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Serve immediately with extra salsa and 1/4 sliced avocado per burrito.
