Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1¼ pounds thinly sliced sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 10 ounce can red enchilada sauce (mild)
- 15 ounce can black beans, drained
- 8 ounce bag Mexican cheese blend
- 6-8 soft flour tortillas, cut into 1-inch strips
- Cilantro, for garnishing
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, combine the thinly sliced sirloin steak, olive oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until the steak is seared and mostly cooked through.
- Add Enchilada Sauce and Beans: Pour the red enchilada sauce and drained black beans into the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors blend and the sauce heat through.
- Add Tortilla Strips and Cheese: Add the cut flour tortilla strips and the Mexican cheese blend to the skillet. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Top with chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy your Burrito Skillet as is or with your favorite side of rice.
Notes
- You can substitute sirloin steak with chicken or ground beef for variation.
- Use low-sodium enchilada sauce and black beans to reduce the sodium content.
- Serve with a side of Mexican rice or a simple salad for a complete meal.
- For extra heat, add chopped jalapeños or hot sauce as desired.
- Soft flour tortillas work best for the tortilla strips to soften and meld into the dish.
