Saucy Beef Wraps

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ground Beef (93% lean or leaner)
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach
  • 1/3 cup canned black beans, rinsed, drained
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 medium flour tortillas (8 to 9-inch diameter), warmed

Instructions

  1. Brown Ground Beef with onion, bell pepper and garlic in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, breaking beef up into 1/2-inch crumbles. Pour off drippings, if necessary.

    Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed Ground Beef. Ground Beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160ºF. Color is not a reliable indicator of Ground Beef doneness.
  2. Stir in water, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add spinach, beans and carrots; continue simmering 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through.

  3. Spoon filling evenly in a row across center of each tortilla, leaving 1-1/2-inch border on right and left sides. Fold right and left sides of tortilla over filling. Fold bottom edge up over filling and roll up.
