How do you make that?

Black Bean Wraps

These are such a staple in our house we have them several times a week. High in protien, spicy and delicious. The black bean is another of nature's perfect foods :-)

Start with the "salsa" if you can call it that. My mom invented this when she was living in NC and she and my dad would eat Mexican and they tried to make the salsa by taste. We LOVE this stuff as an alternative to Pico and Pace, etc. You can use Pace or other favorite salsa in place.

1 large can of stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup of crushed red pepper flakes - top off with garlic powder
Blend until smooth and add garlic salt to taste
Set aside

2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove of garlic (or one tbsp of minced garlic)
1/2 tsp cumin
2/3 cup of above salsa
1 can black beans
Flour tortillas
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Shredded lettuce

Add olive oil and pressed or minced garlic to skillet. Heat skillet to medium until garlic starts to cook. Add rinsed black beans and 2/3 cup of salsa, stir. Add 1.2 tsp cumin and stir. Continue to cook over medium heat and stir until mixture thickens and salsa cooks down. Spread sour cream (optional) on tortilla, add bean mixture, top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, etc to taste. Wrap like a burritto or serve like a soft taco. The original recipe calls for chicken and if I have time I shred grilled chicken and add to the tortilla.
