How to Make Beef And Bean Burritos

  1. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 lb ground beef and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet.
  3. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  4. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans, 1/2 cup chopped green chilies (adjust to your desired heat), and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
  5. Cook and stir the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Warm 6-8 large flour tortillas according to package directions.
  7. Spoon the beef and bean mixture evenly onto the tortillas.
  8. Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  9. Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly.
  10. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, and extra cilantro, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
