Beef Burrito Skillet, Copyright © 2023 Sandra Mihic

Beef Burrito Skillet is such a tasty ad easy dish that you will be making it over and over again. I mean who doesn’t like an easy weeknight recipe? We love simple weeknight dinners.

Not only can you prep this quickly but it is versatile too. My family loves meals like this Easy Beef & Bean Burrito Skillet at least once a week. We absolutely love it!

Now, when I say it’s versatile, I mean it. You can use ground chicken or even cubed chicken in this. I know t won’t be a beef skillet, but some people like chicken, which is perfectly fine.

With grocery prices going up daily, I feel like we need meals like this to feed a big or a small family. Leftovers are away welcome for work or school lunch.

I am going to give you basically a basic recipe but let’s talk options and possible additions, shall we?

Veggies:

Black Beans

Sweet Corn

Roasted or pan-fried peppers

Cauliflower “rice” mixed with regular rice.

Topping:

Sour cream, or Crema Mexicana

Pickled Jalapenos

Shredded cheese

Queso or Salsa

My kids are different from each other so they will add whatever they actually like so for a fun dinner and certainly less stressful you can line all of the options so they can pick what they want.
