Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Ripe plantains
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Cooked rice (white or brown)
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 1 whole Avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 whole Lime (juiced)
- 1 to taste Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the black beans. Sprinkle them with ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and coated with spices. Remove from heat.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for flexibility.
Assemble the burritos: Place a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of cooked rice, a few slices of fried plantains, 1/4 cup of spiced black beans, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of lime juice. Add hot sauce if desired.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap in foil and keep warm until ready to eat. Enjoy!
