Ingredients

• 2 cups Black beans
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
• 8 small Corn tortillas
• 1 large Avocado
• 1 large Tomato
• 1 cup Lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans if using canned beans. If using dried beans, soak them overnight and cook until tender before starting the recipe.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.

Step 3

Dice the bell peppers into small pieces.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced bell peppers, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the peppers are slightly tender.

Step 6

Stir in the black beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt.

Step 7

Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped fresh cilantro.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan over medium heat or by steaming them in a pot to make them pliable.

Step 9

Assemble the burritos: Place a scoop of the black bean mixture into each tortilla, add slices of avocado, diced tomato, and shredded lettuce on top.

Step 10

Fold one side of the tortilla over the filling, then roll from the edges to create a burrito. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
