Description
A one-pan Mexican dish combining seasoned ground beef, black beans, salsa, and tortillas baked with melted cheese. Tender, flavorful, and perfect for a quick, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Lean ground beef (1 pound)
Onion (1/2 medium, chopped)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
Smoked paprika (1 teaspoon)
Ground cumin (1/2 teaspoon)
Chili powder (1 tablespoon)
Black beans (1 can (14 oz), drained and rinsed)
Salsa (1 jar (14.5 oz))
Flour tortillas (4 medium, cut into quarters)
Mexican cheese blend (1 cup, shredded)
Toppings (optional): sour cream, scallions, cilantro, avocado
Instructions
Add ground beef and chopped onion to a skillet over medium-high heat. Break meat apart with a spoon, then add garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally for 8–10 minutes until beef is cooked through. Spoon out excess fat if necessary.
Preheat oven broiler to high and move rack to the top third of the oven. Reduce stovetop heat to medium, then add black beans, salsa, and tortilla quarters to the skillet. Toss gently until tortillas are folded in and spread evenly.
Sprinkle cheese evenly over the mixture. Transfer to oven and broil for 2–3 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly. Rotate skillet halfway for even browning. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with optional toppings as desired.
Notes
Fresh garlic (2 cloves) may be used instead of garlic powder.
Pinto beans can substitute black beans if preferred.
Corn tortillas work in place of flour tortillas.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
