Ingredients

- minced cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a food processor, place the beans, avocado, chipotle pepper, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and veggie broth.
- Pulse until the mixture is creamy. Add more broth by the tablespoon if needed to reach a creamy texture.
- Spread the bean mixture on half of a tortilla, fold the tortilla, and place on a non-stick pan or a pan coated with cooking spray.
- Cook one side until lightly brown, flip and cook the other side until lightly brown.
- Remove from heat, slice, and enjoy.

Notes
- Save the bean water: Instead of draining the water from the canned beans, use some of the reserved liquid (along with the vegetable broth) to thin the bean puree when blending.
- Don’t overstuff the tortillas: Only spread a generous spoonful of the bean puree over the tortillas. Too much and it will ooze out the sides.
- Warm the tortillas: Place the tortillas in a frying pan or in the microwave for about 30 seconds before assembling. The heat makes them more pliable and easier to fold.
