Ingredients

• 1 cup Pinto beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 ounce Pepper jack cheese (shredded)
• 2 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (8-inch)
• 0.25 cup Onion (finely diced)
• 1 clove Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 spray Olive oil spray (or non-stick cooking spray)
• 1 cup Baby spinach
• 0.25 cup Fresh salsa
• 0.25 piece Avocado (sliced, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 3

Stir in the pinto beans, ground cumin, and chili powder. Mash the beans lightly with the back of a fork or spoon, leaving some texture intact. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Divide the bean mixture evenly between the two tortillas, spreading it along the center of each tortilla.

Step 5

Sprinkle 0.5 ounces of shredded pepper jack cheese over the beans on each tortilla.

Step 6

Top with baby spinach, fresh salsa, and sliced avocado (if using) in desired amounts.

Step 7

Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 8

Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down on the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and lightly crisped.

Step 9

Remove from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
