Beanie Roll-Ups

*Perfect Hors d'oeuvre to bring to a party!

a variation of Meg Fender's recipe

Ingredients:

2 - 15oz cans black beans

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp oil

1 - 8oz pkg of cream cheese, softened

10 flour tortillas (taco size)

1 jar of your favorite salsa

Open, drain and rinse 1 can of black beans thoroughly. Put in food processor or blender. Add the other entire can of black beans (DO NOT drain or rinse) and the clove of garlic. Blend until slightly lumpy.

Heat oil in skillet on medium. Pour bean mixture into skillet and cook for 5 minutes, slowly stirring consistently. Let cool for 5-10 minutes.

With the back of a spoon, spread a thin layer of cream cheese over one side of a tortilla. Leave about 1/2 inch of space on one end. Then spoon a thin layer of the (now) refried black beans over the cream cheese layer, again leaving 1/2 inch of space.

Gently roll up the tortilla towards the open space. Some of the beans & cheese will spread it self and fill in the space on the end securing the roll.

Now cut the ends off the tortilla, and slice the roll into 1/2 inch pieces.

Serve with salsa for dipping.

Easy finger food! Enjoy!
