Black Bean Burrito - Weeknight Dinner

Okay...So I won't lie the last two recipes grossed me out a little...hope this one pleases the palate, its one of my own I continue to tweak - its quick, easy and you can make it in big batches for large groups quickly... Enjoy!

Black Bean Burritos - total time needed 2o minutes

2 Peppers (Red, Yellow, or Orange are my favorite in this recipe)

1 Small onion (Vidalia)

1 Can Black Beans (rinsed & drained)

1 Can Tomatoes or 1 or 2 big tomatoes chopped

1 Package of Taco Seasoning

2/3 cup water

1 package tortillas

Mexican Cheese

Optional ingredients:

1 lb ground turkey, beef, chicken (already browned) or precooked chicken (like Kirkland or Tyson)

1/2 cup corn

Salsa

Guacamole

Chop Peppers and Onion, put in pan with a 1/2 tbsp of olive oil over med heat for about 4 minutes or until veggies begin to brown. Add tomatoes and black beans, keep on heat for 2 minutes. If you are using meat, add now.

Add taco seasoning and water and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally- the final product will be a little liquid-y. (If you don't use canned tomatoes, you may need to add a little extra water or it will be dry).

To Serve: Ladle your portion into a tortilla, top with Mexican Cheeses, as well as salsa and guac if desired. Fold it up and eat! (repeat as desired).

New Cooks - this will store for 4 days.

Now that you've mastered above look what else you can create with this base:

A lighter lunch option is to serve chilled on lettuce.

A second option is to place in bowl, put some cheese on top & heat for a quick tortilla dip.
