Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low carb tortillas
- 1 cup Black soybeans, canned
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and reduce sodium content.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender.
Stir in the black soybeans, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soybeans are heated through and the spices are well combined.
Warm the low carb tortillas according to package instructions, ensuring they become pliable and soft.
On each tortilla, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the bean mixture and top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the ends of each tortilla inward and then roll to enclose the filling, forming a burrito.
Serve the burritos with fresh avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving to enhance flavor.
