1
Wrap 4 tortillas in aluminum foil and heat in oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes. (Alternatively, you can skip this step and just heat the tortillas in the microwave just before you use them - without the aluminum foil, of course!)
2
Shred about 1 cup of chipotle jack cheese.
3
Chop about ¾ cup of red pepper.
4
Chop about ¾ cup of red onion.
5
Mince about 3 teaspoons of jalapeno pepper.
6
Chop about 2 tablespoons of cilantro.
7
Cut 4 ounces of cream cheese into small (1-inch) cubes.
8
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan at medium-high heat.
9
Add the red pepper, onions, and jalapeno to the pan. Saute for a few minutes.
10
Add 7 ounces of green chiles and 2 teaspoons of ground cumin. Continue to saute for another minute.
11
Stir in about 1 teaspoon of salt (more or less depending on your preferences).
12
Stir in 15 ounces of black beans and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
13
Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until the cream cheese is thoroughly melted. Remove from heat.
14
Construct burritos by adding the bean & cream cheese mixture to flour tortillas along with the desired amount of shredded chipotle jack cheese. Tip: Apply an even layer to the entire tortilla, leaving a slight margin around the edges. Wrap by folding the sides in slightly and then rolling up from bottom to top.
