Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 units chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 6 units flour tortillas, large
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for toasting burritos)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, ground cumin, and paprika. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the black beans and pinto beans to the skillet. Mash the beans lightly with the back of a fork or potato masher, leaving some texture. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the lime juice and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay out a large flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the bean mixture down the center of the tortilla.
Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beans, then add a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly to form a burrito.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Work in batches if necessary.
Serve the crispy chipotle bean burritos warm, optionally with additional sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
