Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 6-8 (6") flour tortillas
  • 2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 oz light cream cheese (Neufchatel cheese), softened
  • 1/2 cup light sour cream
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese, grated
  • 4 tablespoons salsa (hot), I don't suggest a "chunky" style
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon shallot, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Cheese ... Mix (beat) the cream cheese, sour cream, pepper jack cheese, salt and pepper together in a small bowl, and set to the side. You want the cheese mixture soft when you make he wraps.

  • Step 2: Beans ... In a small saute pan, add the garlic, shallot, beans and salsa and bring to medium heat. Cook five minutes, remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor. Pulse to puree the bean mixture, then transfer to a bowl to cool. Note: I like to use HOT salsa to give it a little bite, but if you don't like anything to spicy - use a medium or mild salsa.

  • Step 3: Wrap ... Spread the bean mixture over each tortilla and then the cheese over the beans. Roll up tightly and wrap in saran wrap; make sure to twist the ends tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 8 hours.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Remove from the plastic wrap, cut the ends off and slice into 4-6 slices per wrap. ENJOY!
