Equipment
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef lean
- 8-10 medium flour tortillas soft
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 2 tomatoes diced
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Start by heating a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook it, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the beef and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent and peppers soften.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef mixture, add ¼ cup of water, and stir well. Let it simmer for 5 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
- While the beef mixture is simmering, warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds per side.
- Assemble the burritos by placing a portion of the beef mixture in each tortilla. Top with shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and salsa. Optionally, add avocado or cilantro for extra flavor.
- Roll up the burritos, folding in the sides and rolling from the bottom. Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to keep warm.
