Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

  3. 3

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

  4. 4

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.

  5. 5

    Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable. Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto each tortilla.

  6. 6

    Roll each tortilla tightly into a burrito shape. Place the burritos seam-side down on a serving plate.

  7. 7

    Serve the burritos with salsa and sour cream on the side.
