Ground Beef, Tomatillo Sauce and Black Bean Burrito Recipe
You could easily use ground turkey to cut down the fat a bit. I just happened to have ground beef on hand. Also, use pinto beans or black beans or even refried beans if you have a spare can laying about. Heck, you could probably even substitute red salsa for the tomatillo salsa, although we're partial to the salsa verde around here for stuff like this.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced red pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup chicken (or beef) broth
- 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained (or pinto)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Brown the ground beef (or turkey) until no longer pink, then add the onion and garlic and red pepper. Cook for a few minutes until softened, then drain the excess fat. (Rinse the beans in a colander and save the can for the grease!)
Add the salt and pepper, the chicken or beef broth, the drained beans and the tomatillo salsa. Turn the heat up to a good high simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened. Sprinkle the cilantro in and stir.
Serve with warmed flour or corn tortillas, sour cream, the grated cheese, and more salsa if you'd like.
