Instructions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl to coat the pan and add the beef, pressing it into a ½-inch thickness.
Sizzle the beef for 3 to 4 minutes until it starts to form a crust, then sprinkle with chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Scatter onion on top and break meat into small pieces. Cook until meat is done, about 4 minutes more.
Stir in black beans and salsa, cooking until the liquid is mostly gone, about 1 minute. Season as necessary.
To assemble, place a tortilla on a surface, sprinkle with cheese, top with ⅙ of the beef mixture, and add more cheese on top.
Fold the tortilla sides towards the center, then roll up tightly to secure the filling. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brown each burrito for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until golden. Let cool slightly and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

You can customize the fillings with your favorite toppings such as sour cream or guacamole.
For a little kick, add jalapeños to the beef mixture or use spicy salsa.
These burritos can be made ahead and frozen for quick meals later.
