Ingredients Needed
- – Have you ? For these, burritos we love to make them in large tortilla shells, but you could definitely make them in smaller ones, too.
- Black Beans – We always have at least canned beans around, unless we’re on it for meal prep and have a batch of cooked black beans from dried beans ready to go.
- Corn – The corn adds just the right touch of sweetness. You can use and either canned, frozen, or when it’s in season, fresh!
- Spinach – It’s probably the guarenteed fresh produce we always have in our fridge because it’s my favorite green to sneak into dishes.
- Garlic and Onion – Staples in our cooking.
- Spices – For these burritos we love a little cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cheese – Our favorites for this are , or a Mexican style blend with some Colby and Monterey Jack, too.

How to Wrap a Burrito
One of the most important parts of successful burrito rolling is having a nice soft, pliable tortilla. To ensure this, steam your tortillas in either a steamer basket or in the microwave with a damp paper towel.
We love these cheesy black bean burritos stuffed as the girls like to share one.
Grab each side of the burrito and gently fold them in over the top of your filling.
Keep those sides down and then fold up the bottom of the tortilla, so that it comes just over the filling.
Keep those edges down and then gently tuck the bottom of the tortilla under the filling.
With that bottom part of the tortilla tucked under, give the rest a tight roll, keeping those edges in.
Wrapped and ready to go, 15 Minute Black Bean and Spinach Burritos! Add a little fresh lime and your favorite hot sauce and boom. An easy, fast, delicious vegetarian cheesy burrito.
