Ingredients:

8 tortillas
370g
6 tsp ground cumin
18g
1 can black beans
420g
1 cup cheddar cheese
110g
2 cups salsa sauce
500g
1 tbsp chili powder
8g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Drain and rinse the black beans to remove excess liquid and sodium.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
2. Season the Beans:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the black beans with 6 tsp of ground cumin and 1 tbsp of chili powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the beans.
3. Warm the Tortillas:
- Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. Keep the warmed tortillas wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to retain heat.
4. Prepare the Salsa Sauce:
Load salsa sauce into a bowl for easy assembly and access during the burrito-making process.
5. Assemble the Burritos:
- Lay each warmed tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spoon around 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoned black beans into the center of each tortilla.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beans.
- Drizzle approximately 2-3 tablespoons of salsa sauce over the cheese and beans.
6. Fold the Burritos:
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up, keeping the filling tightly packed and fully enclosed. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
7. Optional: Heat the Burritos:
- If you prefer warm burritos with melted cheese, place the assembled burritos seam-side down in the preheated skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is lightly browned and the cheese is melted.
8. Serve:
- Serve the cumin-spiced burritos immediately with extra salsa sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.

Tips:

- Warm the tortillas in the oven for a few minutes before assembling to make them more pliable and easier to roll.

- Feel free to add other ingredients like sautéed onions, bell peppers, or avocado slices for extra flavor and texture.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a cheese blend for a different flavor profile.

- Adjust the amount of chili powder to suit your taste preference. You can also add a few dashes of hot sauce for an extra kick.

- Serve the burritos with a side of guacamole, sour cream, or a simple salad to complete your meal.

There you have it—simple, delicious cumin-spiced burritos that are ready in no time. With a blend of savory black beans, melty cheddar cheese, and zesty salsa, each bite is a burst of flavor. Enjoy these burritos with your favorite toppings or sides, and you have a meal that's both satisfying and delightful.
