Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 20-30 seconds per side until pliable.

  4. Step 4

    Place each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon half the bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 0.125 cup cilantro over the beans on each tortilla.

  6. Step 6

    Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a burrito. Serve immediately.
