Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
- Sour cream and salsa for serving
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by draining and rinsing the black beans, measuring out rice, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the drained black beans, cooked rice, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- Sprinkle cumin, chili powder, and salt over the bean mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine and ensure even seasoning.
- Cook the bean mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are heated through and flavors are well combined.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Place a warm tortilla on a flat surface and spoon the bean mixture into the center, leaving space around the edges for folding.
- If using, sprinkle shredded cheese over the bean mixture.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a burrito.
- Optional: For a crispy exterior, place the rolled burritos in a skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side for additional flavor and garnish.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prep your ingredients in advance. Rinse and drain the black beans, cook the rice, and chop the tomatoes beforehand, so you can quickly toss everything together when you’re ready to cook.
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other ingredients to the filling, such as diced bell peppers, jalapeños for extra heat, or even cooked chicken or beef for a heartier option.
- Perfectly Warm Tortillas: To prevent your tortillas from tearing, warm them gently in a skillet or microwave. This makes them pliable and easier to roll.
- Crispy Burritos: For an extra crunch, after rolling your burritos, pan-fry them in a bit of oil until golden brown on each side. This adds a delicious texture that complements the soft filling.
- Serving Suggestions: Elevate your burrito experience by serving them with homemade guacamole, fresh cilantro, or a squeeze of lime for that zesty kick!
