Ingredients

• 2 whole Ripe plantains
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
• 1 cup Cooked rice (white or brown)
• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 whole Lime (juiced)
• 1 to taste Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the plantains and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the plantain slices to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the black beans. Sprinkle them with ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and coated with spices. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for flexibility.

Step 5

Assemble the burritos: Place a warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Add 1/4 cup of cooked rice, a few slices of fried plantains, 1/4 cup of spiced black beans, a few slices of avocado, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a drizzle of lime juice. Add hot sauce if desired.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 7

Serve the burritos immediately, or wrap in foil and keep warm until ready to eat. Enjoy!
