CRISPY SOUTHWEST WRAP

-
Crispy Southwest Wraps are one of our go-to, easy meals. They take less than 30-minutes and my family loves them!

If your house is anything like mine, then the week before Thanksgiving is crazy busy, and the last thing I have time to do is think of a dinner plan early in the week while I’m preparing to host Thanksgiving dinner.

Easy meals–we’re talking 30-minutes or less– are my life savers! And meals that my kids will eat happily, without force, are essential!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 15 ounce can black beans , drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn , thawed
  • 1/2 red bell pepper , chopped
  • 1 green onion , chopped
  • 1 cup cooked rice (leftover rice works great!), white, brown, rice pilaf, wild rice
  • 1 1/2 cups freshly shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey or pepperjack)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 6-8 large flour tortillas
Instructions
  1. Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat.  Cook and crumble until browned. Drain grease. 
  2. Season with a little salt and pepper and add chili powder, cumin, garlic powder and water. Stir to combine. 
  3. Add black beans, corn, bell pepper, and onions and toss to combine. Saute for a 2-3 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
  5. Warm the rice. Layer tortilla with a handful of cheese evenly spread across the tortilla. 
  6. Add a small scoop of rice, placing it in a line along one end of the tortilla. 
  7. On top of the rice add a few small dollops of sour cream, and a spoonful of the beef filling. Starting at that end, roll the tortilla up, folding in the sides like a burrito. 
  8. Spray the skillet generously with cooking spray and place the wraps seam side down on the greased skillet. 
  9. Gently brush the tops of the wraps lightly with oil, or spray them with cooking spray. Turn the wraps every minute or two until they are golden and crispy on all sides. 
  10. Serve warm, with salsa and/or a creamy cilantro dipping sauce.

This single serving Nutella mug cake is ridiculously easy to make with just 3 ingredients. It's rich, dense, chocolatey and everything a flourless cake should be. You may recall earlier last year I posted my 2 Ingredient Flourless Nutella Mug Cake, a recipe I created for my 5-Minute Mug Cakes* cookbook. It remains one of my favorite recipes to date, but a lot of readers were avoiding it because the recipe requires the cake to rest for several hours (even though it only takes 5 minutes to make). Nutella Mug Cake Ingredients:  1/4 cup Nutella  1 large egg  1/2 tbsp dutch processed cocoa powder Directions: Combine all ingredients in an oversized microwave-safe mug. Mix vigorously with a small whisk until batter is smooth and the egg has been completely mixed in. Cook in the microwave for about 1 minute 10 seconds.
