Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Cooked white or brown rice
• 0.5 cup Salsa
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet.

Step 3

Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Using a fork or the back of a spoon, lightly mash about half of the beans to create a thick, creamy texture. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable, about 10–15 seconds.

Step 6

Assemble the burritos: spread 1/4 cup of cooked rice onto the center of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 cup of the bean mixture, 2–3 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 7

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to secure the burrito.

Step 8

Optional: Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and toast the burritos seam-side down for 1–2 minutes, then flip and toast the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 9

Serve warm with sour cream and chopped cilantro on the side if desired.
