Ingredients

• 0.5 pounds Ground beef
• 0.5 cups Black beans
• 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups Diced red onion
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoons Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
• 20 pieces Potsticker wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups Water
• 0 Hot sauce (optional, for dipping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the black beans, diced red onion, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2 more minutes until combined and the ingredients are fragrant. Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Add the chopped cilantro and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until evenly distributed.

Step 4

To assemble the potstickers, place a potsticker wrapper on a clean surface and add about 1 teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 5

Dip your finger in water and run it along the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and press the edges together to seal. Pleat the edges if desired. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, arrange the potstickers in a single layer in the skillet, flat side down. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Carefully pour in the water and immediately cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium and let the potstickers steam for 3-4 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.

Step 8

Remove the lid and cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms. Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve warm with hot sauce or your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
