Ingredients
- 4 pieces Low carb tortillas
- 1 cup Black soybeans, canned
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Red onion, diced
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 whole Avocado, sliced
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned black soybeans thoroughly to remove excess liquid and reduce sodium content.
Step 2
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender.
Step 4
Stir in the black soybeans, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soybeans are heated through and the spices are well combined.
Step 5
Warm the low carb tortillas according to package instructions, ensuring they become pliable and soft.
Step 6
On each tortilla, spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the bean mixture and top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Fold the ends of each tortilla inward and then roll to enclose the filling, forming a burrito.
Step 8
Serve the burritos with fresh avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving to enhance flavor.
