Introduction
These restaurant-style beef burritos are packed with a rich, saucy, and cheesy filling made of seasoned ground beef, black beans, and tomatoes. Crisped to perfection in a skillet, they are incredibly satisfying and highly freezer-friendly.
Step 1
Finely chop one medium yellow onion.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a chopper or spatula, until browned.
Step 3
If there is excess fat, drain most of it, keeping about 2 to 3 tablespoons of fat in the pan. Add the chopped onion, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and sea salt. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are softened and the beef is nicely browned.
Step 4
Pour in the Rotel tomatoes with green chilies along with their juice, and the black beans with their juice. Stir to combine.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes until the tomatoes break down and the liquid is mostly evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, turn off the heat, and let the mixture cool slightly.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Using the juice from both the Rotel tomatoes and black beans tenderizes the beef and makes the filling incredibly saucy.
Simmer the beef mixture until the liquid is mostly gone to avoid making the tortillas soggy during assembly.
If preparing ahead of time, let the beef filling cool completely to room temperature before assembling and rolling.
You can freeze these burritos wrapped in foil/parchment paper inside a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before sautéing.
