Instructions

Melt 1 more tablespoon butter with onions and garlic; stir chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg into mixture. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
Stir black beans and tomato sauce into contents of skillet; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir cilantro into the sauce, and let cilantro wilt, about 5 more minutes.
Fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup cooked rice and 1/3 cup bean mixture.
Recommended wine: Riesling, Sparkling Rose, Pinot Noir
Riesling, Sparkling rosé, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Maximin Grunhaus Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
Maximin Grunhaus Herrenberg Riesling Spatlese
The Herrenberg Spatlese is always the flashiest wine at Grunhaus as the vineyards red slate soils render a more lush, slightly lower acid riesling that its bigger brother Abstberg. Spatlese sweet with explosive aromas and flavors of red delicious apples, yellow peaches, strawberry/rhubarb and salty minerals. Full bodied for a riesling, serve with a Virginia baked ham, a spicy lamb curry or just a traditional Jaeger schnitzel.
