Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 medium onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade blend)

1/2 cup water

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup chopped tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for creaminess)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and slightly softened. Then, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Cook the Beef: Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Use a spatula to break the meat apart as it cooks, ensuring even browning. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink. If there’s excess fat, drain it from the skillet to avoid a greasy filling.

      Season and Combine: Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the browned beef, mixing well to incorporate. Gently fold in the rinsed black beans and add 1/2 cup of water. Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the beef mixture simmers, warm the flour tortillas. You can do this by placing them on a dry skillet over medium heat for a minute on each side, or by microwaving them for a few seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel until soft and pliable.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a warm tortilla and lay it flat on a plate. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and bean mixture down the center of the tortilla. Layer on the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. If desired, add a dollop of sour cream for extra richness.

            Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Make sure all the filling is securely wrapped inside.

              Serve: If you like, slice the wraps in half diagonally and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. Serve with lime wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lime juice over their wraps for a zesty finish.

                  Presentation Tips: For a festive touch, serve the wraps on a colorful platter, and include the lime wedges arranged decoratively around them. If desired, add extra toppings like sliced jalapeños or avocado for added color and flavor.
