Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Rinse and drain the black beans. If using canned beans, ensure to rinse them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Spices and Beans

    Sprinkle the cumin, salt, and black pepper over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir well to combine. Add the rinsed black beans to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until heated through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tortillas

    Warm the tortillas in a separate skillet or microwave. Once warm, place a generous scoop of the black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Roll

    Top each scoop of black beans with shredded cheddar cheese. Carefully roll up the tortillas, folding in the sides as you go to keep the filling inside.

  6. 6

    Serve with Toppings

    Place the rolled tortillas on a serving platter. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.
