Ingredients for Beef And Salsa Burritos

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • Ground Cumin
  • Frozen Chopped Spinach
  • Chunky Salsa
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Flour Tortillas
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Beef And Salsa Burritos

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chopped spinach and salsa. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is heated through.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted.
  6. Warm the tortillas according to package directions (you can microwave them briefly or heat them in a dry skillet).
  7. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  8. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up and over the filling.
  9. Fold in the sides, then fold the top edge down to enclose the filling completely.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
