Roasted Poblano and Spinach Burritos

Ingredients:
– 4 large poblano peppers
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven and transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and slice the peppers into strips.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. Add the black beans to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes, mashing some of the beans with a fork to create a thick mixture. Add the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. To assemble the burritos, place a large tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a quarter of the bean and spinach mixture in the center of the tortilla. Top with a quarter of the roasted poblano pepper strips and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

6. Place the burritos on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

7. Serve the Roasted Poblano and Spinach Burritos hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
