Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (80/20%)
450g
8 tortillas
370g
1 can black beans
420g
6 oz cheddar cheese
170g
4 oz sour cream
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ground Beef:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, about 7-10 minutes.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings such as garlic powder, cumin, or chili powder if desired.
- Reduce the heat to low and keep the beef warm while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. Heat the Black Beans:
- In a medium saucepan, add the drained and rinsed black beans.
- Warm over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add a pinch of salt or other seasonings if desired.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
- Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat.
- Warm each tortilla in the skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable.
- Alternatively, you can wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them in 30-second intervals until warm.
4. Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the cooked ground beef in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a spoonful of black beans on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle a handful of shredded cheddar cheese over the beans and beef.
- Add a dollop of sour cream.
5. Fold the Burritos:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla in towards the center.
- Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom up to create a burrito.
- Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
6. Serve:
- Serve the burritos immediately while warm.
- Optionally, garnish with additional toppings such as salsa, guacamole, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.

Tips:

- For a healthier option, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.

- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave before assembling to make them more pliable.

- Add chopped vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes to the meat mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.

- Customize the spiciness by adding jalapenos or your favorite hot sauce.

- Serve with a side of guacamole, salsa, or a fresh salad for a well-rounded meal.
