Instructions

  • Prepare the Beef: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 lb of ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
  • Prepare the Beans: If using canned beans, drain and rinse 1 can of beans. Heat them in a separate pan for 3-5 minutes.
  • Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
  • Assemble the Burritos: On each tortilla, add a portion of beef, beans, shredded cheese, and any other toppings you prefer (sour cream, salsa, lettuce, etc.). Fold in the sides and roll the burrito.

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover burritos can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap before storing.
  • Customization: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like guacamole, tomatoes, or jalapeños to spice things up!
  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the fillings ahead of time and assemble the burritos later. This is perfect for meal prep!
