Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans (drained), 1 cup of corn (frozen or canned), 1 cup of cooked rice, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 4 large tortillas, 1 cup of shredded cheese, 1 avocado (sliced), and sour cream for serving.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the drained black beans, corn, cooked rice, cumin, and chili powder. Stir the mixture well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and the flavors meld together. If using frozen corn, ensure it is fully thawed and heated.
- While the filling is heating, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for about 15 seconds until warm and pliable.
- Once the filling is ready, remove it from the heat. Lay out one tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a generous amount of the black bean mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle a portion of shredded cheese over the filling, and add a few slices of avocado on top.
- To wrap the burrito, fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and filling until all burritos are assembled.
- In a clean skillet, place the wrapped burritos seam-side down. Cook them over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
- Remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side.
- Enjoy your Black Bean Burritos, a favorite from the Eagan Hills Cooking Club!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just warm it up before assembling the burritos!
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative! Add diced bell peppers, onions, or even some cooked chicken for a protein boost.
- Cheese Choices: While shredded cheese adds a delicious melty texture, consider using pepper jack for a spicy kick or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option.
- Perfectly Warm Tortillas: If you prefer softer tortillas, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for about 15 seconds. This will keep them pliable for easy rolling.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your burritos with fresh salsa, guacamole, or a zesty lime wedge to elevate the flavors even more.
- Golden Brown Finish: Ensure your skillet is properly heated before cooking the burritos seam-side down. This will help achieve that perfect golden crust and melt the cheese inside.
- Leftover Love: If you have any filling left over, it makes a fantastic topping for salads or can be served alongside tortilla chips for a quick snack.Enjoy your cooking adventure with these delicious Black Bean Burritos!
