Black Bean Mango Burritos
Yield: 6 burritos
Prep Time:25 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 6 medium fat-free flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- dash of Tabasco sauce
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 1/2 cups diced mango (about 1 large mango)
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup coarsely shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt (or low fat sour cream)
- 1 cup diced fresh tomato
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap stack of tortillas in aluminum foil, set in oven, and warm 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large heavy skillet over moderately high heat until ripples appear on skillet bottom- 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add onion and sauté, stirring often, until limp- about 3 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, black pepper, red pepper flakes, red pepper sauce, and black beans. Cook and stir just until heated through- about 2 minutes. Set off heat but keep warm.
- Heat mango, brown sugar, and lemon juice in small nonreactive skillet over moderately high heat just until mango softens and juices appear- about 1 minute.
- To assemble burritos, place 1/3 cup black bean mixture down the center of each tortilla, then sprinkle with cheese, dividing total amount evenly. Roll tortillas up and place seam sides down on six dinner plates.
- 5. Dividing all amounts equally, top tortillas with yogurt, then mango mixture, then diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- If you're just going to assemble them individually, you may wish to microwave the tortillas. Place one tortilla on a plate, then add bean mixture & sprinkle cheese on top. Microwave until hot and then continue with assembling.
