Black Bean Burritos

1. The trick to these burritos is to make sure the black beans have been soaked overnight. If youcan't soak overnight, cover with water, bring to a boil, then let sit for(1) hour.

2. Rinse & drain water from black beans, then place beans in a medium-sized pot & cover with water (the beans should be about3/4 inch below surface).

3. Bring to a boil, add onion (diced) & garlic clove (pressed).

4. reduce Heat to very low Simmer (without cover) for the next four to five hour, stirring occasionally. Eventually, the beans will begin to stick to the bottom of the pot. Scrape them up & stir well.

5. Add salt to taste. When the beans are cooked so throughly that they begin to look like a black paste with the occasional bean floating around they are ready.

6. To make the Burritos, heat a large tortilla on a skillet & sprinkle with cheese. When the cheese begins to melt, remove to a plate.

7. Drop a heaping tablespoon (or two) of beans in the front centrequadrant of the tortilla.

8. Add anything else you like ontop of the beans (olives, tomatoews, salsa, guacamole, green onions, peppers).

9. Fold in the edges of the tortilla, then roll up.

10. Serve w/ JAsmine rice or dish of your choice.
