Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the drained black beans and ground cumin, stir well and cook for 3–4 minutes until warmed through. Lightly mash about half the beans with the back of a spoon to help them bind.
- 2
Warm the cooked rice in the microwave according to packet instructions if using pouches.
- 3
Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon a quarter of the rice down the centre, followed by a quarter of the bean mixture, a drizzle of salsa and a handful of grated cheese.
- 4
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- 5
Place the burritos seam-side down in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for 1–2 minutes each side to seal and lightly toast. Serve with extra salsa and soured cream.
