Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (15 ounce) can organic pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons canned green chilies, chopped (I use the whole small can)
  • 1 tablespoon dried chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups shredded low-fat cheese (jack, pepper jack, cheddar or a mixture)
  • 1 cup prepared organic salsa
  • 8 large organic whole grain soft tortillas
  • canola cooking spray (for casserole dish)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large sauce pan over medium heat, saute onion and garlic in oil until soft.
  • Add beans, chilies and seasonings. Mix and mash the beans somewhat to the desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat; spread beans, cheese and salsa in the middle of each tortilla. (I use about 2/3 cup beans and about 1/4 cup cheese per tortilla so they roll up nicely).
  • Roll up tortillas and place in 7 x 11 or 9 x 13 ovenproof casserole dish, lightly sprayed with oil.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350F for 15 minutes. Serve.
  • NOTE: I put additional salsa and cheese on top before baking ~ we like our burritos extra cheesy!
