   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      tablespoon    vegetable oil
    1      medium        onion -- chopped
    1      clove         garlic -- chopped
      1/2  pound         ground beef
   16      ounces        canned black beans -- undrained
    1      cup           salsa
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      pepper
    8                    flour tortilla -- 6 inch
    2      ounces        cheddar cheese -- shredded
 
 1. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 
 3 minutes. Add beef; saute, stirring to break up clumps, until no 
 longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in beans with liquid and 1/2 cup 
 salsa; season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
  
 2. Place tortillas on plate; cover with damp paper toweling. Place in 
 microwave oven on high power for 45 seconds or until warm; this makes 
 the tortillas pliable for rolling. Spread heaping 1/3 cup filling 
 evenly down center of each tortilla; sprinkle with cheese. Carefully 
 roll up tortillas; place, seam side down, on serving dish. Spoon 
 remaining salsa over top.
 3. Microwave on high (100%) for 45 seconds. Turn dish; microwave for 
 another 45 seconds. Makes 4 servings.
 VARIATIONS:
 1. Shred cooked chicken or turkey; mix with shredded cheese and a 
 little undiluted condensed mushroom soup. Wrap filling in tortillas 
 and place in baking dish. Dilute remaining soup slightly with water 
 and pour over tortillas; bake.
 2. Combine chopped cooked veggies and leftover rice. Stir in salsa, 
 fill and heat through.
 3. Spoon chili down center of tortilla. Top with shredded mozzarella 
 cheese; heat.
