Provided by Cadry Nelson

Categories     Entree

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 teaspoon organic canola oil
1 - 2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 cup roughly chopped onions
1 can (15 ounce) black beans (drained and rinsed (1 1/2 cups))
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
Pinch salt
2 Tablespoons water
1 to 2 Tablespoons organic canola oil (or other neutral, high heat oil)
2 ripe plantains (peeled and sliced in 1/2 inch pieces)
4 tortillas
1 cup cooked Basmati brown rice
1 batch guacamole

Steps:

  • Bring a skillet to a medium heat with oil. Sauté garlic and onions in oil a few minutes, until fragrant and translucent.
  • Add black beans, paprika, cumin, ancho chili powder, salt, and water to skillet. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes more until the beans have warmed, the liquid has reduced, and the spices have fully combined. (If the skillet gets too dry, add another splash of water.) Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Bring a separate non-stick skillet to a medium high heat with organic canola oil. (Put a shallow layer of oil into the skillet. The amount will vary, depending upon the size of your skillet.) Test the oil to see if it is hot enough by putting in one plantain slice. If bubbles immediately form around it, you know it's hot enough.
  • Put the plantain slices into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd. (If necessary, work in batches.) Fry the plantains on one side until they are nice and brown, then flip them. Brown on the other side for a few minutes. Lower heat and continue cooking for several minutes more until the plantains have fully softened. (Flip again if the plantains start to burn.)
  • Once they are fully browned and softened, move the plantains to a separate plate.
  • Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet over a medium heat.
  • Move tortillas to a separate plate. Fill each tortilla with a scoop of brown rice, black beans, guacamole, and plantains. Fold in the sides and roll into a burrito. Serve right away.
