How to Make Black Bean Burrito Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tablespoon of your favorite chile powder (or to taste).
  3. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Place half of the 15-ounce can of black beans in a food processor.
  5. Process until finely chopped. Do not puree.
  6. Add the chopped beans, the remaining whole black beans (from the 15-ounce can), and 1 cup of corn (fresh or frozen) to the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine.
  7. Spoon 1/2 cup of the bean mixture down the center of each of 8 large flour tortillas (approximately 10 inches).
  8. Roll up tortillas tightly and place them, seam-side down, in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
  9. Spread 1 cup of your favorite salsa evenly over the tortillas.
  10. Sprinkle generously with 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese).
  11. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  12. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are heated through.
