Caramelized Onion, Cheddar, and Black Bean Wraps
2 Sweet onions, sliced thinly
1 can refried beans ( I use Amy's brand)
Cheddar Cheese, sliced thinly
Flour Tortillas
1 Tbs Olive Oil, or enough to coat the pan
salt to taste
Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the oil. Add onions and cook until golden and season with salt to taste. Meanwhile, tear a piece of silver foil and place a tortilla on top of the foil. Add beans and cheddar cheese taste. When the onions are golden brown add them on top of the beans and cheese. Roll the tortilla in the foil and allow to cool to room temperature.
recipe notes: If you make this ahead of time, the heat from the onions melts the cheese and somewhat cooks the tortilla, which creates a gooey decision hiking sandwich. If I wasn't going to take these sandwiches hiking and instead eat them right away, I would make them as follows:
1) carmelize the onions as instructed above
2) heat black beans over low heat until small bubbles begin to form
3) Heat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, place tortilla in bottom of skillet. Cook on first side for about 1 minute until tortilla begins to puff up. When it does, flip and cook on the second side for about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and assemble sandwich.
4) To assemble sandwhich, place hot tortilla on a plate. add about 2 Tbs of black beans, 2 Tbs of onions, and cheddar cheese. Roll and enjoy!
