Directions

  1. In a large pot of water cook the black beans until tender. (NOTE: The time it takes to cook the beans depends upon how old and “dry” they are. Pre-soaking your beans will lessen the cooking time.)
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine all salsa ingredients, mix thoroughly, and set aside.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional minute.
  4. Add cumin, oregano, and salt and cook for one minute.
  5. Add beans and water and cook for approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  6. Assemble burritos by evenly distributing the spinach, beans, cheese and salsa among the eight tortillas. Roll up and serve.
