Instructions
Prep
- Rinse the bell peppers.Heat a large skillet on low heat.Cut the bell peppers and onion into ¼-inch slices.
- Increase the temperature to medium.Coat the cooking surface with cooking spray or oil and add the peppers and onions. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, or covered for 7 minutes.
- Push the veggies to one side and add the beef.Sprinkle each seasoning over the beef.
- Meanwhile, drain the tomatoes.When the beef is cooked, add the tomatoes.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of sauce, then ½ cup of beef mixture into the middle of each tortilla.Add extra fillings (shredded lettuce, pico or salsa, etc.)If adding many fillings, reduce beef mixture to ⅓ cup so everything fits when rolled. Or, save the toppings for garnishes.
- To roll, fold the sides in first and continue to hold them down while using your thumbs to fold over the side closest to you. Tightly grip the filling with the tortilla and roll until completely enclosed. It's a very intuitive process.
- Place the burrito seam side down in the air fryer basket.Repeat with remaining burritos.
- Fry at 450° for 4 to 5 minutes.Roll the second batch (if necessary) while the first batch fries.Garnish as desired.
Notes
Makes 8 burritos. One serving is one burrito.
You can put these in the oven at 450° if you don't have an air fryer, but the bottoms will not crisp. Alternatively, you can use a roasting rack or place the burritos directly on the oven rack and place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings.
Replace the beef with ground turkey to cut back on fat.
Complete the meal with a side salad or Greek yogurt parfait.
Substitute the homemade Avocado Dressing with store bought Hidden Valley Southwest Chipotle, Newman's Own Southwest Ranch or Primal Kitchen Cilantro Lime Dressing.
Store in the refrigerator in a closed container up to 4 days.
