With just a pound of ground beef and a few pantry staples, you can pull together a satisfying burrito skillet dinner in just thirty minutes. Taco seasoning mix, a jar of salsa and a can of black beans will help you create this home-cooked meal.

Prep/Total Time : 30  mins

Servings           : 5

INGREDIENTS

·         1 lb ground beef (at least 80% lean)

·         1 cup water

·         1 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa

·         1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed

·         1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ original taco seasoning mix

·     4 (6-inch) Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for soft tacos and fajitas, cut in 1-inch strips

·         1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)

·         ¼ cup sliced green onions

·         ½ cup sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  In 12-inch skillet, cook beef over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain. Add water, salsa, beans and taco seasoning mix. Cook 3 to 5 minutes or until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low.   

2.  Stir in tortilla strips; cook 1 minute. Top with cheese; cover, and remove skillet from heat. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

3.   Top with green onions. Serve with sour cream.

EXPERT TIPS

·    Flour tortillas have a sturdier texture than corn tortillas so are used to make stuffed burritos—and make sense in this deconstructed burrito skillet.

·      Create a small condiment bar to serve alongside: in addition to the green onions and sour cream, set out small bowls of chopped avocado, fresh tomato salsa or pico de gallo, and fresh sprigs of fresh cilantro.

·  Serve a salad of orange segments and sliced radishes tossed with watercress or torn butter lettuce, dressed with a tangy vinaigrette.
