Ingredients
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning divided
- 1/3 cup water or bone broth for extra protein
- 1 15 oz can black beans
- 1/2 an onion diced
- 1/2 cup diced tomato or salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 4 large tortillas
- extra toppings: salsa and greek yogurt or cottage cheese
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat
- Add a splash of olive oil and add diced onions and tomatoes (or salsa), cook for 5 minutes
- Add can of black beans (don't drain) and 2 tsp taco seasoning from packet
- Stir and let simmer for 10 minutes
- Remove beans and set aside, wipe clean skillet
- Add ground beef and cook it breaking it apart until no longer pink (option to drain extra grease)
- Add taco seasoning and water or broth, stir well
- Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes (or longer) until the liquid is nearly gone
- Assemble burritos with beans, beef, cheese, lettuce, salsa and yogurt
- Option to cut in half and eat as is OR throw it on a pan to toast both sides
Notes
- I highly recommend prepping the beef and beans, washing and dicing lettuce (or using pre washed shredded lettuce) and prepping all the toppings ahead of time and storing in the fridge in separate containers. Then right before dinner warm up the beef and beans in the microwave and assemble burritos.
- To prevent your tortilla wrap from ripping, I recommend heating it up in the microwave for 15 seconds. This helps to make it more pliable.
- If you are short on time, you can just warm up the can of black beans without cooking it with onions and tomatoes (although this adds a nice flavour).
- To switch things up for the next day, consider building a taco salad in your container for lunch! Start by adding salsa and yogurt to the bottom, then add beans and beef, then cheese and top with lettuce. Follow this layering technique to prevent your lettuce from getting soggy overnight.
