Burros

Method

Burros

  1. 1

    Prepare the filling base

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add diced potatoes and cook until tender and lightly golden, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. 2

    Season the potatoes and onions

    Push potatoes and onions to the side; add minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add beans and finish the filling

    Stir in the black beans and chopped cilantro. Cook until beans are heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Squeeze in lime juice and adjust salt if needed.

  4. 4

    Warm tortillas

    Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 20-30 seconds per tortilla.

  5. 5

    Assemble burros

    Spoon filling onto each tortilla. Top with avocado slices, salsa, and shredded cheese if using. Fold and roll into burritos. Serve immediately.
