**Mariachis**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 onion, diced
– 1 red bell pepper, chopped
– 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
– 1 can corn kernels, drained
– 1 cup salsa
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 6 large flour tortillas
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish
**Instructions:**
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
3. Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, salsa, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
5. Place a flour tortilla on a flat surface and spoon some of the beef mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top.
6. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, and place it seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, arranging them snugly in the baking dish.
8. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top of the rolled tortillas.
9. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving hot.
