Black Bean and Cream Cheese Burritos

INGREDIENTS:
2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and
drained
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Wrap tortillas in foil and place in oven heated to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through.
2.
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Place onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapenos in skillet, cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Pour beans into skillet, cook 3 minutes stirring.
3.
Cut cream cheese into cubes and add to skillet with salt. Cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir cilantro into mixture.
4.
Spoon mixture evenly down center of warmed tortilla and roll tortillas up. Serve immediately

I just found this on allrecipes.com. The only changes that I made was that I omitted the jalapeno peppers, added the juice of 2 limes and doubled the cream cheese. The cream cheese sounded weird, but was actually really good. It made enough for 4 adults.
