Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and press into a flat patty. Sear for 3-4 minutes until a crust forms.
Sprinkle beef with chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Add diced onions.
Break beef into pieces and cook for 4 more minutes until browned through.
Stir in beans and salsa. Cook for 1 minute until liquid reduces and beans are hot.
Place 3 tablespoons of cheese on a tortilla, top with 2/3 cup meat mixture, and add 3 more tablespoons of cheese.
Fold in the sides and roll tightly to secure.
Brown burritos in a hot nonstick skillet seam-side down for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Serve hot.

Notes

Use a dry skillet for browning to ensure the tortilla stays crisp.
Rinse beans thoroughly to control sodium levels.
To reheat, use an air fryer to maintain the toasted texture.
