Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1 1/2 cups black beans or 1 can drained
- 1 1/2 cups corn or 1 can drained
- 1 1/2 cups spinach packed, approximately 2-3 oz
- 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups Finely Shredded Cheese cheddar, or pepper jack, monterey jack, or a mixture of any
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in saute pan over medium. Add garlic and onion and saute for 1-2 minutes .
- Give the spinach a quick chop and add to pan and saute, another 1-2 minutes.
- Add black beans and corn and stir and saute for another 5-6 minutes.
- Turn heat down to medium low and add paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper and mix well. Top with cheese, and stir to combine and melt cheese.
- Meanwhile, add flour tortillas to a plate. Dampen a paper towels and place one on top of each tortilla. Microwave for 20 seconds to steam and soften tortillas.
- Place one tortilla on another plate or cutting board. Add two to three large scoops of filling to the center of the tortilla shell.
- Wrap the burrito by folding in each side of the tortilla over the filling toward the center. With sides folded, bring the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling and tuck it under the filling. Make sure your sides stay folded in. Gently roll the rest of the burrito, keeping those folded sides on the top of the remaining shell down and tightly wrap the rest of the burrito.
- Serve with hot sauce, lime juice, salsa verde, or any of your other favorite burrito condiments!
Notes
- Serving Size: Nutritional value is approximate for 2 very large burritos.
- Meal Prep / Freezing
- Meal Prep / Freezing
- These burritos are perfect for meal prepping and freezing! To prep ahead and freeze, prep filling but don't add the cheese yet. Let the filling cool to at least room temperature and then add shredded cheese before adding to the burrito shell. Then wrap tightly, wrap in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
- Reheat Frozen Burritos
- Microwave: Unwrap and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the burrito is fully thawed. Optional, finish in a skillet for 3-4 minutes for a crispy shell.
- Oven: In a 400 degree oven, unwrap burrito and place it on a baking sheet and heat in the oven for 45 minutes.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Corn: Use frozen, fresh, or canned. If using frozen, add them right to the pan and saute until corn is hot.
- Onion: Use your favorite, yellow or red are also good in this recipe.
- Spinach: Use frozen spinach by thawing the frozen spinach thoroughly before using it and then wring it out in a clean cloth towel to remove all of the excess moisture. Substitute about 1/2 a 10 oz package of frozen.
- Cheese: Use cheddar or a mixture of your favorite Mexican-style cheeses. Measure out 1 1/4 cup of it finely shredded or make sure the thicker shred is packed when measuring.
- Spices: Use your favorites! Add a kick with some cayenne or chili powder.
- Flour Tortillas: Make them gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free tortilla brand.
- Protein: These are GREAT to add some leftover protein! Add leftover chicken, pork, or beef when adding the beans and corn.
