This is an awesome last minute, throw it together kinda meal that is totally awesome. I made a super huge batch of this so I could keep it in the frig for a few days but feel free to halve it or cut it into thirds. I also made several and froze them for my husbands lunches. He likes to buy those frozen fatty store burritos. Yuck. These are so much better and healthier. Not to mention cheaper.
It's a pretty versatile dish too. Sub a can of kidney beans if you want, add a red pepper or some green onions. It will all work and be delicious!
We ate this with an awesome low calorie Mexican Cucumber Salad. Wonderful meal!
Black Bean and Cream Cheese Burritos Recipe
Adapted from Kiddies Corner
3 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 large onion, diced
3 (4 oz) cans green chiles (I used a 7 oz. and a 4 oz can)
2 tbsp. garlic, minced
1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, light (or you can use regular)
Salt and pepper
Tortillas (corn tortillas if gluten free)
Cook onion in cooking spray for about 3 - 4 minutes to soften. Add green chiles and garlic, stir and cook for a couple of minutes. Add black beans and cook for about 3 minutes until heated through. Add cream cheese, salt and pepper, stirring until the cheese is melted and mixture is hot. Serve on a tortilla. I like to toast my tortillas in a pan on the stove top to get a bit crisp and then add the bean mixture.
