Black Bean and Cheese Burritos image

Categories     Bean

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1 large can black beans
1-1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
10 tortillas

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Add the olive oil to a saucepan over medium heat and allow the oil to come to temperature. Add the pepper, onion, and carrots, and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until softened. Stir often.
  • Add in the beans, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to come to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat accordingly to maintain a simmer for about 10 minutes, or until slightly reduced. Stir often.
  • Transfer the beans to a food processor fitted with a paddle attachment, and process until smooth. If you do not have a food processor, you could use a blender or the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in the cheddar cheese. Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of the mixture onto each tortilla and roll into a tight burrito.
  • Brush both sides of each burrito with olive oil, and transfer to the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the sheet, and bake in batches if necessary.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each burrito, and bake for 10 minutes more. Allow to cool slightly, serve, and enjoy.
