Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by prepping your ingredients. Dice your onion and rinse the black beans.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cumin.
  2. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once the beef is cooked, add in the rinsed black beans and diced onions. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the onions become soft.
Assembly
  1. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate and spoon a portion of the beef and bean mixture in the center. Top with shredded cheese.
  2. Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and then roll it up from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  3. For an extra touch, you can place the wrapped burritos back into the skillet and toast them until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Serving
  1. Serve your burritos warm, complimented by sour cream and salsa on the side.
