Beef Burrito Skillet – 30 Minute Meal

You all know that I love simple meals that taste amazing, and this is a new favorite! A beef burrito skillet, no rolling them up, arranging them in a pan to bake. This is a one skillet meal, saving you time and clean up time.

We all really like burritos, but I don’t care for them through the week because I don’t want to work for it. I don’t want to wait for them to bake. I like simple. I like fast. I love easy clean up. So that’s what this is.

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package of taco seasoning

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 jar of salsa
  • 1 can of beans
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 4 large tortilla shells
  • sour cream – optional

How to make Beef Burrito Skillet

Start by brown your ground beef, and cooking with your onions.

One your beef is cooked, drain off any and all fat, I rinse my ground beef under hot water to get any last grease off it. Put your skillet back on the burner (with your ground beef) and add in a cup of water, a jar of salsa, a can of beans, and your taco seasoning, we use our homemade seasoning.

You are also going to add sliced tortilla shells.
