🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked white or brown rice
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

2. Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet.

3. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, lightly mash about half of the beans to create a thick, creamy texture. Remove the skillet from heat.

5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable, about 10–15 seconds.

6. Assemble the burritos: spread 1/4 cup of cooked rice onto the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of the bean mixture, 2–3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.

7. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the burrito.

8. Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 1–2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.

9. Serve warm with sour cream and chopped cilantro on the side if desired.
