Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 can of black beans (drained), 1 cup of corn, 1 diced bell pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 4 large tortillas, 1 sliced avocado, 1/2 cup of salsa, and salt to taste.
- In a medium-sized skillet, add the drained black beans, corn, diced bell pepper, and cumin. Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Place the skillet over medium heat and cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bell pepper is tender and the beans are heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the filling is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds until they are soft and pliable.
- Once the filling is ready, taste it and add salt as needed to enhance the flavors.
- To assemble the burritos, lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the black bean and corn mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
- Add a few slices of avocado on top of the filling, and then drizzle with salsa for added flavor.
- To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top, making sure to keep the filling secure inside.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Once all the burritos are wrapped, you can serve them immediately, or for an extra touch, you can place them seam-side down in the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the burritos warm with additional salsa on the side, and enjoy your delicious Tex Mex Meatless Burritos!
Tips
- • For the most flavorful burritos, make sure to drain your black beans thoroughly and pat them dry to prevent excess moisture. • Toast your cumin in the pan for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to enhance its nutty, warm flavor profile. • Want extra crispiness? After rolling your burritos, lightly brush them with olive oil before pan-frying for a golden, crunchy exterior. • If you're meal prepping, these burritos can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Simply reheat in a skillet or oven for best results. • For added protein, consider sprinkling some nutritional yeast or adding quinoa to your bean mixture. • Customize your burritos with additional toppings like fresh cilantro, lime juice, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra zest. • Use fresh, ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor in your burritos.
