.baked black bean ravioli.

want to throw a flavor fiesta? then, try this scrumptious black bean ravioli dish for dinner. it feels like a gourmet dish, but is really made with simple ingredients and a flare for the delectable.

heat up a skillet with a little olive oil and then toss in 1/3 cup of chopped onion and a clove of minced garlic. cook over medium heat until they are both tender and aromatic.

in a separate bowl, mix together one can of black beans, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 1-2 tablespoons of taco or fiesta seasoning, and shred 1/3 cup monterey jack cheese in. do the cha cha.

once your garlic and onion is ready, mix that in as well. sprinkle in a little salt and pepper. cha cha cha.

preheat your oven to 350 and spray a pan so that your ravioli doesn't stick when you bake it. now, lay out half of your wonton wrappers. for those of you who don't love math as much as i do, half of 24 is twelve. see, that was really fun. place a spoonful of your mixed ingredients into the direct center of each wrapper. to adhere the top layer of the ravioli, dip your finger into water and run it around the perimeter of the ravioli. it will act as a paste and you can press another wonton wrapper right on top. press all around the edges to make sure it sticks.

with your black bean ravioli ready to go, put them in the oven to bake for between 10 and 15 minutes. while the ravioli bakes, create a sauce to drizzle on top. i used a poblano alfredo sauce (from a jar thank you very much) with a smidgeon of red enchilada sauce as well. any queso or white sauce would be delicious on these.

when the black bean ravioli is ready and you've got it drizzled with your own sauce choice, top with sliced avocado and serve with pizzazz. this dish is top-notcha cha cha!
