Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 2/3 cups cooked rice
  • 1/3 medium onion, diced
  • 1/4 medium bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 Tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp chipotle powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 (19 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat the oil on a large skillet. Add the rice and fry until warm. Remove from heat, and transfer to a large bowl. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, fry the onion and garlic until the onion is transparent. Melt the butter and add in the chili powder, chipotle powder, cumin, black pepper, cloves and nutmeg. 
  • Add in the black beans and diced tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, and cook until the flavors blend, around 10 minutes, stiring constantly.
  • Fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup bean mixture and 1/3 cup rice. 
  • (Optional) If you want a more cheesy topping, place in baking pan, top with cheese and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350˚F
