Beef and Bean Burritos

We have burritos just about every week. They’re a fast, easy, and tasty meal that hits all of the food groups without being a dreaded casserole.

Beef and Bean Burritos
Serves 4

1 lb lean ground beef (15% fat works well)
½ tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp oregano
Dash cayenne pepper

1 can refried beans, chili beans, or black beans

Lettuce
Tomato
Avocado
Sour Cream
Grated cheddar cheese
Salsa

4 burrito size tortillas

Spray non-stick cooking spray in a skillet. Brown the lean ground beef with chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne pepper over medium high heat. Warm up beans in the microwave or over medium heat in a sauce pan. Warm up tortillas for 20 seconds in the microwave or 10 seconds on each side in dry skillet or on a griddle. Cut up some tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado, and grate some cheese. Assemble burrito with fillings as you see fit.
