Saucy and savory with just ground beef, beans and cheese, this easy recipe is inspired by Los Angeles-style burritos, which restaurant critic Jonathan Gold once summarized as “the rough equivalent of a hardhat’s lunch pail, a method of constructing a filling, portable meal from a tortilla, last night’s beans and a spoonful of stew if there was one.” This burrito’s filling eschews guacamole, sour cream, rice and raw vegetables which means it freezes well for up to 3 months. The seared ground beef is simply spiced, but feel free to swap in a stewed meat like birria or tinga de pollo or make it vegetarian with just beans and cheese.
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, finely chopped
  • 1½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, or chipotle or ancho chile powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black or pinto beans
  • 1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice, or apple cider vinegar
  • Hot sauce, for drizzling (optional)
  • 6 burrito-size (about 10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
