Recipe by Eddie Garza

Ingredients

  • Spray oil
  • ¼ cup white onion, diced small
  • 1 jalapeño chili, seeded and diced small
  • 1 large ripe plantain, peeled and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¾ cup Arroz Rojo
  • 2 (12 inch) flour tortillas
  • ¾ cup plant-based shredded white cheese
  • 1 whole avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Lightly spray a skillet with oil and heat over medium heat. Sauté the onion, jalapeño, and plantain for 8 minutes. Add the cumin and oregano and stir. Add the garlic and beans and sauté for about 3 minutes or until the beans are warm. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  2. Stir the Arroz Rojo and heat through.
  3. Heat the tortillas in a pan, microwave, or grill until they are pliable.
  4. Spoon about half the beans and Arroz Rojo filling into the center of each tortilla. Top with half the cheese, sliced avocados, and cilantro.
  5. Fold up the bottom half of the tortilla to meet the top half. Hold the bottom edge down and drag it toward you, pulling the filling into the center. Leave the bottom edge folded over the filling.
