Easy Beef Burrito Skillet
Description
This Beef Burrito Skillet recipe uses ground beef browned and mixed with taco seasoning, water, chunky salsa, and drained black beans to create a flavorful filling simmered until thickened. The addition of sliced flour tortillas stirred in towards the end adds a soft yet slightly chewy texture that complements the rich, saucy mixture.
The skillet is then topped with shredded Mexican blend cheese, which melts into the hot mixture, creating a creamy layer. A dollop of sour cream in the center provides tang and coolness, while sliced green onions add a mild sharpness and freshness.
Serving immediately ensures the cheese remains melted and the tortillas tender. The recipe suggests using mild salsa for child-friendly versions and slicing tortillas by stacking and cutting with a pizza cutter for convenience. This dish is a complete one-pan meal combining protein, beans, and carbs efficiently.
