Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the black beans and beef broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Divide the beef and bean mixture evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each.
Top each with shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Add a dollop of Greek yogurt on top of each filling.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to form a burrito.
Serve immediately.
