Makes: 5 servings
Total Time: 55-65 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5-2 lb grassfed organic ground beef
  • 1 large jalapeno or serrano pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 3 TBS organic tomato paste

Potatoes

  • 1.5-2 lb of baby potatoes or sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 TBS olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp chili powder

Peppers and onions

  • 2 red bell pepper
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 can of organic black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1.5 TBS olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, red salsa, salsa verde, tomatoes, hot sauce, cheese, jalapenos, etc.

What to do:

  • Pre heat oven to 400 degrees
  • Line a baking sheets with parchment paper or spray it with some olive oil or avocado oil spray
  • Dice potatoes into bite size pieces and place in a medium size bowl and mix with the olive oil salt, garlic powder and chili powder
  • Bake potatoes for 30-35 minutes; remove from the stove half way through and toss potatoes with a rubber/wooden spatula
  • Slice your bell peppers and onion into thin strips
  • Heat 1.5 TBS of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium high heat
  • Saute your veggies in a large skillet over medium heat until caramelized; about 10-20 minutes
  • Add the rest of the peppers/onion spices and mix well
  • Add the black beans and mix well simmer for 1 minute stirring often
  • Remove the veggie mixture and set aside
  • In the same skillet, add some oil if you need more and add your diced jalapeno and saute for 1 minute
  • Add the ground beef and cook until no pink remains; drain any liquid that is left behind
  • Add the water and tomato paste and mix well; cook until the sauce thickens up then set aside
  • Once everything is made, build your bowl – I typically do potatoes, then meat, then veggies. Top your bowl with your favorite burrito fixens i.e. lettuce, hot sauce, salsa, tomato, cheese, etc.
