How to Make Beef And Veggie Burrito Filling

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 bell peppers (any color), chopped. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  4. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, undrained, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of water or beef broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Remove the lid and cook for another 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Serve immediately in warm tortillas with your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or lettuce.
