Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for grilling)
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
• Sour cream or salsa, for serving (optional)

How to Make Cheesy Corn and Bean Burritos

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 of the filling mixture onto the center of the tortilla.
3. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
4. If desired, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing in half. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream or salsa, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure to rinse the canned beans to remove excess sodium and prevent a gritty texture.
• For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
• Don’t overload the tortillas; keep the filling to about 1/4 of the tortilla to ensure easy rolling.
• If you prefer softer burritos, skip the skillet step and serve them fresh from the assembly.

Easy Variations

• Replace black beans with pinto beans or refried beans for a different flavor.
• Swap out cheddar cheese for Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend for a unique twist.
• Add cooked chicken, ground beef, or shredded pork for extra protein.
• Incorporate veggies like diced bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• A simple side salad with avocado and lime dressing.
• Mexican rice or cilantro-lime rice for a hearty meal.
• Fresh guacamole and tortilla chips for a tasty appetizer.
• Roasted vegetables for a healthy side dish.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1-2 minutes, or heat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
