Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed), 1 cup of corn, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 diced onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 4 large tortillas, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Next, stir in the drained black beans and corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the mixture to heat through.
- Sprinkle the cumin and chili powder over the mixture, stirring well to combine. Allow the flavors to meld together for about 2-3 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove the skillet from heat and prepare your tortillas. Lay out each tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Evenly distribute the black bean and veggie mixture onto the center of each tortilla, leaving some space at the edges for folding.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the filling on each tortilla.
- To wrap the burritos, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, securing the filling inside. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed and place the wrapped burritos seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Once the burritos are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Cut them in half if desired.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Rhonda's Black Bean Veggie Burritos!
Tips
- • For extra crispiness, ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the burritos • Use fresh, high-quality tortillas for the best texture and flavor • Don't overfill your burritos - this can make them difficult to wrap and cook • If you want a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling • Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or vegan cheese for unique flavor profiles • Serve immediately after cooking to enjoy the maximum crispiness of the tortilla • Pro tip: Warm your tortillas slightly before filling to make them more pliable and easier to wrap
