Crispy Baked Black Bean Burritos

Submitted by 2hot2handle

"Kids love these! Make extras because the burritos can be frozen prior to baking. Just defrost them and then bake according to the directions."

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 12 burritos
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained
• 1 (14 ounce) can vegetarian refried beans
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon minced garlic clove (about 1 clove)
• 12 flour tortillas, soft taco size
• 6 scallions, chopped (optional)
• 2 tomatoes, chopped (or 1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes drained)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• salsa, for serving
• low-fat sour cream, for serving

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400. Combine black and refried beans in a saucepan, and add the chili powder, cumin and garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mash the bean mixture into a thick puree (I use a potato masher right in the pan).
2. On a plate, lay a tortilla flat and place 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with some scallions, tomatoes and cheese. Roll up into a tube shape and place into a 9x13-inch baking pan, seam side down. Repeat until you've used all the tortillas and/or bean mixture.
3. Bake the burritos until they are browned, about 15 minutes. Top with salsa and/or sour cream as desired.

My husband and I really liked these. It was still too spicy for my toddler. It made filling for about 10 burritos rather than 12. I think it would taste great with some sliced avacado inside.
