Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by draining and rinsing black beans, measuring corn, salsa, and cheese.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, combine black beans, corn, and cumin. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes until ingredients are heated through and flavors start to meld.
- Warm the flour tortillas by placing them briefly in a separate dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay out each tortilla on a clean work surface and spoon an equal portion of the bean and corn mixture into the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the bean and corn mixture in each tortilla.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito shape.
- Optional: For a crispy exterior, place burritos seam-side down in a lightly oiled skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with additional salsa on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Drain and rinse your black beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium and improve texture.
- For extra flavor, consider toasting your cumin in the skillet for 30 seconds before adding beans and corn to enhance its aromatic qualities.
- Use room temperature tortillas for easier folding and to prevent cracking.
- Don't overfill your burritos - leave enough room to fold and seal them properly.
- If you want a crispy exterior, use a non-stick skillet and a small amount of oil when browning the burritos.
- Experiment with different types of salsa or add additional toppings like diced onions or chopped cilantro for more complexity.
- For a healthier version, use whole wheat tortillas and low-fat cheese.
