Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Pickled Jalapenos

  • 2 jalapeno peppers thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup peach cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup boiling water
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Burrito Fillings

  • 6 large tortillas
  • 2 avocado, sliced
  • Shredded lettuce

Directions

  1. Thinly slice the jalapeno peppers and add them to a jar with the peach cider vinegar, boiling water, sugar and salt. Shake to combine and let sit while you prepare your beef, for at least 30 minutes. For more flavor, prepare the jalapenos overnight or a few hours before.
  2. Heat a large skillet on medium heat with 1/4 cup of olive oil. Add the diced peppers and onion and saute until soft, for 8-10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes.
  3. Add in the ground meat, tomato paste and spices. Mix together and cook for another 10-12 minutes, until the meat has browned.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, assemble your burritos with a layer of the meat and veggie mix, shredded lettuce, avocado and your pickled jalapenos. Fold in the sides and roll the bottom up to wrap tightly.
  5. Serve as is, or grill on a greased pan to add a crisp.
