Steps
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Add diced onion, cook until translucent, and season with garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Lay out tortillas on a clean surface. Distribute beef mixture on each, add cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Fold sides inwards and roll tightly to form a burrito.
