Beef Burrito Skillet

One skillet, under 30 minutes meal to the rescue when you want tacos, but not tacos!

Dear Americanized Mexican food,
Stop being so hard to photograph.
Sincerely,
Sarah

But in all seriousness despite this style of food being uncooperative for photographing, it's a great way to mix up Taco Tuesday and make something other than tacos. It has most of the elements of a regular taco, but it's made in one skillet. I have made a few recipes here and there that include some type of beans in the taco meat, but never kidney beans. I was pretty stoked and very excited to see how it would turn out. I thought the kidney beans worked perfectly well in this dish and loved how quick and easy it was to throw it all together.

What you need:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
• 1 can (15.5 oz.) red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup water
• 4 tortillas, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 1/2 cups shredded Colby Jack or Cheddar cheese
• Sour cream
• Green onions, sliced
• Roma tomato, diced

Directions:

1. Cook ground beef in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until done.
2. Add taco seasoning, water, salsa, and beans and stir.
3. Bring to a simmer and then cook for 5 minutes.
4. Top with tortilla pieces and cheese. Cover and heat until cheese has melted completely.
5. Remove from heat and top with sour cream, green onions, and tomato.

I like that this recipe was a different way to eat a beef burrito, I also have a different way to eat fajitas in this Beef Fajita Nachos recipe. If you prefer chicken burritos, be sure to check out this BBQ Chicken Burrito Bowls recipe from Simply Recipes.
