Blood Orange Salsa & Black Bean Rolls

Blood oranges, yumssss.  I’m afraid to admit that these entered my life only two years ago.  But they’re so tasty, not to mention beautiful.  Yes.  And they have enhanced my life.  Hope they do the same to yours!

ingredients

3 blood oranges

1 avocado, diced into one-inch cubes

1/4 red onion, thinly diced

diced chili pepper (add to your desired level of spicy)

1 lime

Salt to taste

1 can black beans

3/4 cup shredded cheese

14 tortillas

Peel and segment oranges.  With a sharp paring knife, remove white pith without removing the flesh of the orange.  Cut between membranes to release segments (I did this over a bowl so I wouldn’t lose any juice).  Place orange segments in a bowl and add avocado, onion, chili (add just a little to start), juice of 1/2 lime and salt.  Stir to combine, and add more salt or chili to taste.

Heat the black beans over medium.  Turn on a second stove eye to medium-high.  Take a tortilla and hold in on the eye, move it around a bit to heat entire tortilla.  Turn the tortilla over and repeat.  You’ll begin to see marks on the tortilla when it’s ready.  Stuff heated tortillas with black beans and cheese, and roll.
