Easy Beef and Bean Burritos

This is so easy.

1 (10 oz. or 16 oz.) package chopped spinach
1 pound of ground beef
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2/3 cup chunky salsa, your favorite
1 16-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup shredded cheese, Colby or Co-jack or whatever
flour tortillas

Brown the meat in a skillet. (If the meat is lean add some tallow or oil.)  Meanwhile cook the spinach per package directions and drain in a colander. Mix the cooked meat, spices, spinach, salsa, and drained beans. Warm these together and stir in the cheese.  Sometimes I wait to add the cheese on the tortilla, then it is easier to warm the leftovers without having the cheese burn in the sauce pan.  Serve this on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and whatever you want, olives? chopped tomatoes?

The original recipe called for only 1/3 pound of ground meat.

Tools:
Skillet
Colander
sauce pan
Spatula
