Ingredients

• 4 large Flour tortillas
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 2 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 1 medium Chopped onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 can (14 oz) Diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 sliced Avocado (optional)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is browned all over, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans, chili powder, and ground cumin. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through. Set this beef and bean mixture aside.

Step 4

To make the enchilada sauce, in a medium saucepot, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Spoon a portion of the beef and bean mixture along the center of each flour tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

Step 7

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the burritos, ensuring they are completely covered.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 11

Serve warm, with optional toppings like sliced avocado and sour cream.
