Ingredients

• 2 cups canned black beans
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon pepper
• 0.25 cup water
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh cilantro
• 0 as desired optional toppings (e.g., diced avocado, lettuce, jalapeños)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the black beans, water, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.

Step 5

Gently mash some of the beans with the back of a spoon for a creamier texture, while leaving some whole for a chunkier consistency. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a microwave or on a skillet for 20-30 seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Spoon a generous amount of the black bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.

Step 8

Top the black beans with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately with optional toppings like diced avocado, shredded lettuce, or sliced jalapeños for extra flavor.
