Black Eye Bean Burritos















  • Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small tomato chopped
  • 1 tin black eye beans, drained
  • 125ml vegetable stock
  • 1 fresh green or jalapeno chilli, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp taco seasoning or Mexican chilli powder
  • Cilantro finely chopped 
  • Grated cheddar cheese
  • 4 flour tortillas

Method:
  • Rinse and drain the beans. If you are using dried beans, they must be fully cooked before you begin.  Black-eyed beans can be soaked overnight to make them more easily digestible.
  •  Heat the olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat, and cook the onion until tender.
  • Then add tomato and cook until soft. Mix in the black eye beans, vegetable stock, chill, garlic and lime  juice.
  • Add taco seasoning, salt & pepper to taste.
  • Cook over medium-high heat for about ten minutes, mashing beans slightly with back of wooden spoon. 
  • Stir occasionally, adding a little water if mixture looks too dry.
  • Spoon bean mixture into tortillas. Top with cheese & chopped cilantro. 
  • Fold each tortilla and serve with salsa or with fried french beans.
