HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brown the ground beef until no longer pink.

02

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and 0.25 cup of water.

03

Add the rinsed black beans and the salsa to the beef mixture, stirring well to combine.

04

Reduce heat to low and fold the cut tortilla strips into the beef mixture until evenly distributed.

05

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the tortilla strips are soft and the liquid is absorbed.

06

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top, cover again, and let sit for 1 minute until the cheese is melted.

07

Serve immediately, topped with a dollop of sour cream.

COOKING TIP

Make it better

For extra crunch, stir in a handful of crushed tortilla chips right before serving instead of mixing them into the pan. If you prefer a lighter version, use ground turkey as a direct swap for the beef.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Easy swaps

You can replace the flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, though corn tortillas may become slightly softer during the steaming process.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to restore moisture.
