📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the Beef - Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s fully cooked, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Use a spoon to skim off and discard most of the excess fat, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons in the pan.
ground beef (lean 85/15)1 lb, 10-inch flour tortillas6(8oz) shredded Mexican cheese blend (or equal parts mozzarella and medium cheddar)2 cups
2
Add Seasonings - Add the onion, cumin, paprika, and chili powder, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and the beef is nicely browned, 3-4 more minutes.

Stir in tomatoes and beans, including their juices. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the liquid has evaporated (about ⏱️ 8-10 minutes). Turn off the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
How to Fold Burritos: Place the tortillas on a clean work surface. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the center of each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Spoon about 2/3 cup of the meat mixture over the cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Fold the short sides of the tortilla over the filling, then fold up the bottom edge tightly over the filling, tucking it in as you go. Fold in the corners and roll tightly away from you until the burrito is fully sealed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
5
Heating Burritos: When ready to cook, heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burrito seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Serve with your favorite toppings and sauces.*
