    Not only are these Black Bean Burritos delicious, but they are also pretty healthy. Black beans are high in protein and fiber and they are also rich in antioxidants.

    You can also easily modify this burrito recipe slightly to be Vegan Friendly. All you need to do is leave out the Queso Fresco or substitute for a vegan-friendly cheese.

    My wife is always asking me to make healthier food when I can so I figured why not make these healthy black bean burritos? Simple and easy to make which makes this recipe perfect for those busy days.

    🌮 How to Soften Tortillas

    When the time comes to warm up your tortillas, you have a few options. You can wrap the tortillas in foil and bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F.

    You can also put them in a non-stick pan to heat both sides of the tortilla (this is how I usually do it), heat them over an open flame, or if you must, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds.
