- 1 serrano pepper or another pepper of choice, seeds removed and finely chopped
- 1 can cooked black beans drained
- 6 tortilla wraps

Instructions
Making the black beans
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add oil, garlic, and finely diced onion to the frying pan and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Add the chili pepper and black beans to the pan and stir to combine.
- Lower the heat on the frying pan to medium, then cook the black bean mix for 10 minutes, stirring often.
Prepping and cooking the burritos
- Add the black bean mix and chopped salad vegetables to the tortilla wraps, then fold them into a burrito shape. Place each burrito in a baking pan, then sprinkle the jack cheese over each burrito.
- Place the baking pan with the burritos in the preheated oven and cook them for 2 minutes (or until the cheese has melted.)
- Serve alone or with some Mexican rice, more salad, or some pickled jalapenos.
