Method

Burrito Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Chop the onion and garlic cloves finely. Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Spice it Up

    Finely chop the habanero peppers (remove seeds for less heat, if desired) and add them to the skillet along with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Mix in Beans and Corn

    Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burrito

    Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
