Easy Beef Burrito Skillet

Adapted from Betty Crocker


  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 3 tablespoons (1 oz package) taco seasoning mix (or see recipe for easy homemade)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup chunky salsa (I like Trader Joe’s Thick & Chunky Salsa)
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, or more to taste
  • 4 (6 inch) flour tortillas, sliced into 1-inch strips
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, guacamole, lime wedges

  1. Coat a large skillet with oil and place over medium-high heat. Add turkey or beef and cook until all the moisture is gone. If using beef, drain excess fat.
  2. Add taco seasoning, water, salsa, and beans. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the tortillas. Top with cheese. Remove skillet from heat and allow the cheese to melt (place under the broiler, if necessary).
