Full Recipe Section
Ingredients:
-
1 (15-ounce) can of Black Beans: You’ll need one standard can, which should be rinsed and drained well. Canned black beans are a fantastic source of plant-based protein and fiber, providing the hearty, satisfying base for our burrito filling. Rinsing them removes excess sodium and starch.
-
1 large ripe Avocado: The avocado should be ripe enough to mash easily but not overly brown. This will be the creamy, binding element of the filling, lending a rich texture and a dose of healthy monounsaturated fats.
-
½ cup of Frozen or Canned Corn: Thawed if frozen, or drained if canned. The corn adds a wonderful pop of sweetness and a slightly crunchy texture that contrasts beautifully with the creamy avocado and soft beans.
-
¼ cup of finely chopped Red Onion: This provides a sharp, zesty bite that cuts through the richness of the avocado. Its vibrant color also adds to the visual appeal of the burrito filling.
-
¼ cup of fresh Cilantro: Chopped. Fresh cilantro is essential for that classic, zesty burrito flavor. It adds a bright, herbaceous note that lifts all the other ingredients.
-
1 tablespoon of Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed is always best. The acidity of the lime juice not only brightens the flavors but also helps to prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
-
½ teaspoon of Cumin Powder: This warm, earthy spice is fundamental to the burrito’s flavor profile, giving it a subtle smokiness and depth.
-
¼ teaspoon of Chili Powder: For a gentle warmth. You can adjust this amount based on your preference for spice. It adds a classic Southwestern flavor without being overwhelmingly hot.
-
Salt and Black Pepper: To taste. These are crucial for seasoning the filling and making all the individual flavors pop.
-
4 large (10-inch) Flour Tortillas: These will be the vessel for our delicious filling. Large, soft tortillas are easiest to roll without tearing. You can use whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas as well.
Directions:
-
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the large, ripe avocado. Using a fork, mash it against the side of the bowl until it reaches your desired consistency. For a creamier, smoother filling, mash it completely. For more texture, leave it slightly chunky. Add the freshly squeezed lime juice to the mashed avocado and stir to combine. This step is crucial as the acid from the lime will significantly slow down the oxidation process, keeping your avocado green and fresh.
-
To the bowl with the mashed avocado and lime juice, add the rinsed and drained black beans, the thawed or drained corn, the finely chopped red onion, and the chopped fresh cilantro.
-
Sprinkle the cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper directly over the ingredients in the bowl. Be mindful of your salt, as you can always add more later if needed.
-
Using a spatula or a large spoon, gently fold all the ingredients together. Be careful not to over-mix or mash the black beans too much; the goal is to have whole beans and corn kernels distributed evenly throughout the creamy avocado base. Take a moment to taste the filling and adjust the seasonings. You might want to add more lime juice for zest, more chili powder for heat, or more salt to enhance the flavors.
-
This step is optional but highly recommended. Warming the tortillas makes them softer, more pliable, and less likely to crack or tear when you roll them. You can warm them one by one in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side, or stack them, wrap them in a slightly damp paper towel, and microwave for 30-45 seconds.
-
Lay a warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon approximately one-quarter of the black bean and avocado filling into the center of the tortilla, shaping it into a rough log shape, leaving a few inches of space at the top and bottom.
-
To roll the burrito, first fold in the short sides (the top and bottom) over the filling. Then, take the edge of the tortilla closest to you and pull it up and over the filling, tucking it in snugly. Continue to roll the burrito away from you until it’s completely sealed. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
The burritos are best enjoyed immediately while the tortillas are warm and the filling is fresh. You can slice them in half on a diagonal for a nicer presentation or serve them whole.
