Method

Bean Filling

  1. 1

    Prepare beans

    If using dried beans, soak overnight and cook until tender; if using canned beans, drain and rinse.

  2. 2

    Sauté aromatics

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add garlic

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Bloom spices

    Stir in cumin powder and chili powder; cook for 1 minute to bloom the spices.

  5. 5

    Combine beans

    Add beans to the skillet and mash lightly with a fork or potato masher to reach a chunky consistency.

  6. 6

    Season

    Season with salt and lime juice; simmer 2-3 minutes until flavors meld.

Potato Filling

  1. 7

    Sauté potatoes

    In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and sauté until they start to soften and brown, about 8-10 minutes.

  2. 8

    Add aromatics

    Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is translucent and potatoes are tender.

  3. 9

    Season

    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cheese & Wraps

    Warm tortillas

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

  2. 11

    Assemble burritos

    Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon bean filling and potato filling onto the center. Sprinkle shredded cheese and cilantro. Add a dollop of sour cream if using and a squeeze of lime.

  3. 12

    Wrap

    Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly to enclose.

  4. 13

    Serve

    Slice in half if desired and serve warm with extra lime wedges on the side.
