Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 15 oz can Black Beans rinsed and drained
- 3 Tbsp lime juice divided
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup minced cilantro
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup cooked long grain rice
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1-1/2 cups Mexican style 4 cheese blend
- 6 medium size flour tortillas
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prep all the ingredients in advance then set aside.
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet. Stir in the black beans, 2 Tbsp lime juice, red bell pepper, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook and stir over low heat for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- In a small bowl stir the chili powder and remaining 1 Tbsp lime juice into the rice.
- Lay out the tortillas and place 1/4 cup of the beans in a row down the center, leaving a 2 inch border at the top and bottom. Top the beans with 2-3 Tbsp of rice, then top the rice with about 3 Tbsp cheese. I don't measure the cheese. Fold in the top and bottom edges then tightly roll up the burrito.
- Heat the 2 tsp oil in a large skillet, then working in 2 batches, place the burritos, seam side down in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until, crisp, golden and warmed through.
- Serve warm with sour cream, and/or salsa. So yummy!
- Or, if you're like my hubby, use sour cream, salsa, pickled jalapenos and extra cheese!
