Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) of black beans (or pinto beans), drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked rice (optional, for added texture and bulk)
4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option)
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
1 small avocado, sliced
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Lime wedges (optional)
Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
Prepare the Beans:
In a medium-sized pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the black beans to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mash the beans lightly with a fork or potato masher to give them a slightly creamy texture. If desired, stir in the cooked rice to make the filling heartier.
