Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned black beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup water
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., diced avocado, lettuce, jalapeños)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the black beans, water, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Gently mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon for a creamier texture, while leaving some whole for a chunkier consistency. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for 20-30 seconds until pliable.
Spoon a generous amount of the black bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Top the black beans with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito.
Serve immediately with optional toppings like diced avocado, shredded lettuce, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor.
