Ingredients
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup diced bell pepper
- 0.5 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Step 3
Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the beans are heated through.
Step 4
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.
Step 5
Place each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a quarter of the bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Step 6
Sprinkle approximately 2 tablespoons of the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the bean mixture on each tortilla.
Step 7
Top each with about 2 tablespoons of salsa.
Step 8
Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to secure the filling inside.
Step 9
Place the burritos seam-side down in a clean skillet over medium heat to lightly toast and seal, cooking for about 2 minutes on each side.
Step 10
Serve warm and enjoy!
