Recipe Details
Servings: 6 servings (1 burrito per serving)
Calories: 340kcal
Ingredients
- 6 medium fat free flour tortillas
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup coarsely chopped yellow onion
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce
- One 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1½ cups (about 1 large) diced mango
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup coarsely shredded low fat Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup low fat plain yogurt (or low fat sour cream)
- 1 cup diced fresh tomato
- ½ cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the 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's bottom, about 1½ 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 ⅓ 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.
- Dividing all amounts equally, top tortillas with yogurt, then mango mixture, then diced tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you're 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.
