Easy One Skillet Beef Burritos

Easy One Skillet Burritos

Sometimes you want an easy dinner that doesn't take a lot of pots and pans. More pots and pans=more dishes! :( So here is a one skillet, easy customizable dinner that I threw together in 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

-one small onion

-one pepper any color

-can of corn

-can of beans( i used black beans, but refried beans,

 kidney or any other you prefer is fine

-1.5 pounds of lean ground beef

-1/2 cup of salsa

-taco seasoning( or any seasoning you prefer)

-burrito sized tortillas

-cheese

I also used sour cream in mine. You can also add toppings like chopped tomatoes, raw onion, lettuce, rotel, guacamole, rice, etc. Use whatever you have laying around that you enjoy.

First, Take your pepper and onion. Admire them.

Then rough chop the onion and pepper into little pieces. This little onion was pretty powerful, and I was crying and cursing in an ugly manner.

Brown your ground beef and add taco seasoning. 

While your meat is browning, Open your cans of corn and beans(any style you want).

Add your peppers, onions, beans, and corn to the skillet. Add 1/2 cup salsa to taste. I think the salsa sort of brings everything together, and makes it goopey so it all sticks together. 

Heat everything through, stirring occasionally. Warm up your tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Add mixture and any add ins you want( cheese, sour cream, jalepenos, hot sauce, lettuce, guacamole...etc)

Roll up and enjoy! 

There you have it, Easy Breezy! The best part? One pan to clean! :)

Enjoy!

Healthier Banana-licious Muffins

Healthier Banana-licious Muffins

3 Large Bananas
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup of flour, white all purpose, wheat or a combination
1/2 cup applesauce

Optional:
1/2 cup chocolate chips ( I used mini)
You could also use blueberries, oatmeal, or nuts as other add ins. 

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375.
Mash the bananas. Add the sugar and egg. Add the applesauce. Mix together. Add the dry ingredients. Mix in the chocolate chips or other add ins. Bake 16-20 minutes. Yields 12-16 muffins. I had 14, but I like them to have fluffy tops. I used regular muffin tins, greased them with PAM spray, and I did not use liners. I also did a little less sugar and a little more applesauce to taste ( less calories). I am trying to watch my calories, and this is a healthier option for me. I also think they taste delicious and are a wonderful quick breakfast.

Enjoy!
