Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups black beans, canned (drained and rinsed)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 4 pieces flour tortillas (10-inch size)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the black beans to the skillet along with the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are heated through and slightly softened. Mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon for a creamier texture.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice.
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable.
Place about 1/2 cup of the bean mixture in the center of each tortilla.
Sprinkle each with about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, a spoonful of salsa, and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
Roll up the burritos by folding in the sides and then rolling from one end to the other.
Serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce if desired.
