Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (93% lean)
  • 1 cup low-fat shredded cheese
  • 1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 whole whole wheat tortillas
  • Fresh spinach, diced tomatoes, avocado (optional toppings) These toppings can be customized.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a skillet, sauté onions and peppers for 3–5 minutes.
  2. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in spices, black beans, and a splash of water. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Warm tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
  5. Spoon the beef mixture into each wrap, sprinkle cheese, and add fresh toppings.
  6. Fold and roll tightly. Serve warm or wrap for later.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding homemade pico de gallo or a dollop of Greek yogurt as toppings. Freezing and reheating properly ensures the burritos maintain their texture.
