Ingredients

1 Green pepper, chopped

1 Medium onion, chopped

3 Garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp Olive oil

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 can (14 1/4 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies

1/4 cup Picante sauce

1 tbsp Chili powder

1 tsp Ground cumin

1/4 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes

2 cups Cooked brown rice

8 Flour tortillas, warmed

1 cup Salsa

1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

In a large nonstick skillet, saute the green pepper, onion and garlic in oil until tender. Add the beans, tomatoes, picante sauce, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until heated through and mixture thickens. Add rice; cook 5 minutes longer or until heated through.

Spoon a rounded 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla. Fold sides over filling and roll up. Place in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon salsa over each tortilla. Cover and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with cheese and cilantro. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
