Ingredients

Skillet Base

1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 can black beans 14 ounce, drained and rinsed
1 jar salsa 14.5 ounce, your favorite kind
4 medium flour tortillas cut into quarters
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Optional Toppings

light sour cream
chopped scallions
fresh cilantro
sliced avocado

Instructions

In a large skillet, brown the lean ground beef and chopped onion over medium-high heat. Break up the meat with a spoon. Once it's partly cooked, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the beef is fully browned. Drain any excess fat for a healthier meal.
While the beef cooks, preheat your oven broiler to high. Position the oven rack in the top third of the oven.
Reduce the stove heat to medium. Add the drained black beans, salsa, and quartered tortillas to the skillet. Gently toss everything together until the tortillas are well distributed. Heat for a few minutes until warmed through.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet mixture. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler. Broil for just a few minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately with your favorite healthy toppings like fresh cilantro, avocado, or a dollop of light sour cream. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy this quick and flavorful meal!
