    Ingredients

    Filling

    • 1 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 small onion chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • ½ medium green bell pepper finely diced
    • 3 cups well-cooked pinto beans from about 1 cup raw, or two 15- to 16-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
    • 1 to 2 small fresh hot chile peppers seeded and minced, or one 4-ounce can chopped mild green chiles
    • 2 to 4 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro to taste
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • Salt to taste
    • Cooking liquid from the beans or water, as needed

    Remaining ingredients

    • 8 burrito-size 10- to 12-inch flour tortillas
    • 1 cup firmly packed cheddar-style non-dairy cheese
    • Salsa as desired
    • Shredded lettuce for garnish
    • Black olives for garnish
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until it is translucent.
    • Add the garlic and sauté for another minute before adding the green pepper. Continue to sauté until the onion is lightly golden.
    • Add the pinto beans along with the remaining filling ingredients and enough liquid to keep the mixture moist. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
    • With a mashing implement, mash about half of the beans. Make sure there is enough liquid in the mixture to form a thick, saucy base. Cook, covered, for another 5 minutes.
    • Spoon some the bean mixture onto the centers of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle with some grated cheese, if desired, and top with a spoonful or so of salsa. Fold two sides over the filling, then roll up snugly.
    • Arrange 2 burritos on each dinner plate. Garnish with shredded lettuce and black olives. Pass around extra salsa. Serve at once.
