Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large flour tortillas
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 2 pieces green onions, finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a food processor, combine black beans, cream cheese, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and well-combined.
Transfer the black bean mixture to a bowl and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the black bean mixture over the tortilla, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges.
Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly, starting from one edge and rolling toward the other side.
Repeat the spreading and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and black bean mixture.
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down and refrigerate for 15 minutes to help them set for easier slicing.
Using a sharp knife, slice each tortilla roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels.
Arrange the pinwheels on a serving platter and serve fresh. Optionally, serve with additional salsa or sour cream on the side for dipping.
