Ingredients

• 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
• 15 ounces Canned black beans
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Salsa
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned black beans under cold water to remove excess sodium.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the drained black beans to the saucepan, along with the ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Stir well and cook the beans for about 5 minutes, until they are heated through and well seasoned.

Step 5

Mash the beans slightly with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to create a chunky mixture.

Step 6

Warm the gluten-free tortillas according to package instructions; this can often be done by heating them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, place a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 of the bean mixture down the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the beans.

Step 9

Add a spoonful of salsa over the cheese.

Step 10

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 11

Repeat the assembly steps with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

Step 12

Serve the burritos immediately while warm, with extra salsa on the side if desired.
