Note

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.

For added heat, mix in diced jalapeños to the bean filling. You can also use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option, though they may require a quick fry or dip in oil to prevent cracking when rolling.

If your tortillas are stiff, microwave them for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them more pliable for rolling.
