Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until heated through. Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash some of the beans to help bind the filling together.
-
Toss in the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice, mixing everything well to combine.
-
Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Divide the filling evenly among the tortillas, placing it in the center of each and leaving space around the edges.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filling on each tortilla.
-
To assemble the burritos, fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you go.
-
Place the filled burritos seam-side down in a heated skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve the Spinach and Black Bean Burritos hot with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream on the side for dipping and dolloping.
