Before You Start

Pull the ground beef out for a few minutes so it browns evenly, shred the cabbage, rinse the spinach, and have the beans and avocado ready to pile on.

How To Make It
  1. Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet, about 20 seconds a side, until soft and pliable, then set it aside.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet over medium high heat and cook, breaking it up, 6 to 8 minutes, until no pink remains and it reaches 160°F in the center, then spoon off the fat so the bowl does not go greasy.
    160°F
  3. Add the shredded cabbage and cook, stirring, 5 to 6 minutes, until it softens and wilts down.
  4. Stir in the black beans and spinach and cook, 1 to 2 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the beans are steaming.
  5. Spoon everything over the tortilla or into a bowl, top with the avocado and salsa, and serve.
Fix It: If the beef looks wet and gray instead of browned, raise the heat and give it space, since a crowded pan steams the meat instead of searing it.
Microwave
  1. Add the ingredients you would cook together to a microwave safe bowl along with their liquid.
  2. Cover loosely and microwave in one minute bursts, stirring between each, until hot through.
  3. Let it stand for a minute, then finish and plate the dish as written in the steps above.
