Spicy Black Bean Burritos

Pin It
 

I love it when I find a quick and tasty meal to add to my recipe repertoire.  We rarely eat out, especially during the week, so a meal that comes together quickly using pantry staples is much appreciated.  Hubs and I really enjoyed these burritos.  The bean filling was so good--the minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce added a great smoky flavor.  Yum!  


Give this recipe a try.  I hope you'll like it too!

Spicy Bean Burritos
source:  Annie's Eats 

Yield: about 6 servings
Ingredients:
For the bean filling:
2 tsp. canola or vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. minced chipotle in adobo sauce
1 tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. kosher salt
Dash cayenne pepper
1/3 cup water, vegetable broth or chicken broth
2 (15 oz.) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
6 tbsp. salsa

For serving:
6 (9- or 10-inch) flour tortillas, warmed
Shredded cheese
Diced tomatoes
Shredded romaine lettuce
Chopped green onions
Sour cream

Directions:
To make the bean filling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Add the garlic, chili powder, chipotle, cumin, salt and cayenne; stir, cooking just until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.  Add the beans and the water or broth to the pan.  Bring the mixture to a boil.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes.  Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the salsa and mash the mixture with a spoon or fork.  
Spoon about a third of a cup of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.  Top each serving with a pinch of shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions and sour cream.  Roll the tortilla up tightly, burrito style, and serve immediately.
