How To Make Sausage and Black Bean Burritos
Partner this stuffed burrito with a dollop of salsa or tossed some lime juice for a delicious and filling meal.
Ingredients
- ¾ lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1⅔ cups black beans, drained and rinsed from 115 oz.
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ lb Monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 tbsp lime juice, from about 1 lime
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 9 flour tortillas
- lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
In a large frying pan, cook the sausage over moderate heat, breaking it up with a fork or wooden spoon, until cooked through and just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
-
Remove. Pour the fat from the pan and reduce the heat to low.
-
Add the beans and salt then cook, mashing the beans with the back of a wooden spoon, until heated through for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Most of the beans should be broken up, but don't mash them to a puree.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the sausage, half of the cheese, the tomato, lime juice, and onion.
-
Spread one-quarter of the bean mixture in a line just below the center of each tortilla.
-
Put the remaining cheese on top of the beans.
-
Roll up the burritos and put them seam-side down in a small baking dish.
-
Bake until the cheese is melted and the filling is hot for about 15 minutes.
-
If the tops begin to brown too much, cover loosely with a sheet of aluminum foil.
-
Serve the burritos with lime wedges.
