Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans canned tuna
- 1 15-ounce can black beans
- 1 1/2-cup sweet corn
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 1/2-cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Drain the canned tuna and black beans. Rinse the beans under cold water and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the tuna, black beans, sweet corn, cooked rice, salsa, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon an equal amount of the tuna mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Fold the sides of each tortilla inwards, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
Brush the tops of the burritos lightly with olive oil and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Bake the burritos in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and slightly crispy.
Remove the burritos from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with extra cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa on the side if desired.
