2

Place a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef.

4

Add chopped onion, and cook until soft.

5

Add in black beans, salsa and corn. Add oregano, cumin, garlic powder and salt & pepper. Stir for about 3 minutes.

6

Spoon about ½ cup of beef mixture to the bottom center of a flour tortilla. Roll up into a burrito shape according to the video.

7

Place the filled burritos into the pan, seam side down so they don't unravel.

8

Fill the pan with 8 burritos, and then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the burritos.

9

Bake 18-20 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.

10

Sprinkle chopped green onions on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
