  • 1 12 cups pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 12 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen (canned if fine)

  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or yellow rice)
  • 12 cup green pepper, fine chopped
  • 4 scallions, diced fine (white and green parts)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, fine diced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, diced fine (pork or shrimp would work just as well)
  • olive
  • beans (garbanzo, kidney, butter, etc)
  • jalapeno, minced fine
  • sour cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Filling -- In a large saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat.
  2. 2
    Add in the garlic, green pepper and cook just a couple of minutes.
  3. 3
    Then, add in the scallions, beans, corn, salsa, rice and cilantro.
  4. 4
    Just cook 4-5 minutes on medium low simmer until heated through.
  5. 5
    Check for any additional seasoning like salt and pepper if needed.
  6. 6
    Tortillas -- As you are heating up the filling -- heat up the tortillas.
  7. 7
    I do this as easy as possible.
  8. 8
    Wrap 4 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minutes on medium heat.
  9. 9
    Flip over after 30 seconds.
  10. 10
    Done.
  11. 11
    Wraps -- Lay each tortilla out flat and add 1/4 cup of the cheese.
  12. 12
    Then add the bean filling and wrap.
  13. 13
    I start at one end and roll, then tuck in each side as you finish rolling them up.
  14. 14
    There is no real right or wrong procedure for this.
  15. 15
    Finish -- After the wraps are finished, I like to add them to a serving platter or dish, cover with the same paper towels you originally heated the tortillas in; and back in the microwave for just another minute on medium heat to melt the cheese and to make sure the tortillas and filling are hot.
  16. 16
    Serve -- Garnish with sour cream on the side; and serve along side a nice bowl or soup or a salad.
