Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook the diced onion for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper and cook for 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.
- Stir in the drained and rinsed black beans and salsa, coating the beans evenly.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer the bean mixture for 5 to 7 minutes, mashing some beans to thicken the mixture.
- Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds or heating them over a gas flame for a few seconds per side.
- Lay one warmed tortilla on a work surface, spoon 1/2 cup of the bean mixture into the center, and sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and place the burrito seam-side down in the skillet; cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Flip the burrito and cook the other side for 2 minutes until golden and crispy, ensuring the cheese is melted.
Notes
These burritos freeze well for up to 3 months and can be reheated in the oven, microwave, or skillet for best texture.
