Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 pepper from a can of chipotles in adobo minced
- 2 tsp sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- one large pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 15 ounce can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 6 burrito-sized tortillas
- 8 oz shredded cheese mexican blend, cheddar, or monterey jack
- shredded lettuce
- 4 green onions thinly sliced
- fat-free Greek yogurt or sour cream
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, chili powder, pepper, adobo sauce, cumin, and cayenne. Allow them to cook just until fragrant, only about 30-60 seconds. Add in the drained/rinsed beans and the water. Bring the filling to a simmer, and then lower the heat to medium-low and allow it to cook for 8 minutes, mashing the bean mixture slightly. Remove from heat, and stir in rice and salsa until everything is evenly combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the center of each tortilla. Top the filling with cheese, lettuce, green onions, and greek yogurt as desired. Roll them up by folding over both side about 1 1/2 inches and then rolling up lengthwise to close/make the burrito, and serve!
