Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.5 sweet yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, drained
  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 8 large flour tortillas, warmed

Method
 

  1. Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in melted butter until onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let melt. Stir in chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg; cook, stirring often, for 2 more minutes.
  3. Stir in black beans and tomato sauce, then bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in cilantro. Let sit until cilantro wilts, about 5 minutes.
  4. Fill warm tortillas with bean mixture and rice.
