INGREDIENTS:
1 pound Five Marys ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 small green pepper, diced
1 15-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
(You will need 2 skillets)

SAUTÉ the beef, onion, and green pepper until brown over medium-high heat.

ADD the beans and seasonings and gently stir.

Continue to COOK 2-3 minutes.

To make the envelopes, HEAT a skillet over medium heat with a half teaspoon of oil.

SPOON roughly 1/4 – 1/3 cup meat mixture into the center of the tortilla in the shape of a rectangle.

SPRINKLE 2-3 tablespoons of cheese over the top.

FOLD the sides into the center, then carefully fold the other sides inward. You should have a rough rectangle.

PLACE the envelope seam side down in the oil and fry roughly 2 minutes per side until the pocket is crisp and browned on each side.

COOL on a wide rack.

REPEAT this process until all the tortillas are finished.

ENJOY! 🖤
