Beef Burrito Skillet Recipe Tips

  • Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef.
  • Instead of using black beans, you can use pinto beans or you can stir in a half can of refried beans.
  • Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour.
  • A small can of corn makes another great addition to this one pot dinner. Drain it and it it to the skillet when you stir in the beans.
  • I like to use a ground beef chopper to help crumble the ground beef.

  1. What a simple and delicious recipe! I used a hot salsa and Hatch chiles for a bit of heat, and put the skillet in a 350 degree oven for a minute to melt the cheese on top. Definitely one I’ll be making again.

  2. This Ground Beef Burrito Skillet is the bomb dot com! Took no time to make, very easy to put together! My sister and helped ourselves to seconds! We plan on making this dish again in the very near future! Thank you for sharing your amazing recipe, Ms. Christin!

  3. The Burrito Skillet is off the chain!!! Unfortunately, I didn’t have any salsa on hand, so I continued making this dish without it. I will definitely make this again in the very near future, and it was also very quick and easy to put together. Thank you so much for sharing Ms. Christen 🤗
