Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Method

  • To make the bean filling, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the garlic, chili powder, chipotle, cumin, salt and cayenne; stir, cooking just until fragrant, 30-60 seconds.
  • Add the beans and the water or broth to the pan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat, stir in the salsa and mash the mixture with a spoon or fork.
  • Spoon about a third of a cup of the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  • Top each serving with a pinch of shredded cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, green onions, sour cream and cilantro.
  • Roll the tortilla up tightly, burrito style, and serve immediately.
