The recipe is modified from a 'Cooking Light' magazine. Its super fast and easy and pretty darn tasty. We make it fairly regularly. Sam doesn't like the beans or the green stuff so I usually just make some quesadillas to go along with the burritos, appetizer-wise. I also don't have measurements for everything since I just do it by look and taste. I'll try to approximate.
Vegetarian Burritos
serves 4
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans, rinsed
Salsa, your favorite kind
1 avocado, sliced
1 lime, sliced
Cilantro, about a handful
Flour Tortillas
Cheese- optional
Garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano- all these are optional.
Rice-also optional
1. Mix the black beans with some of the salsa, not so it's runny, but enough so the beans hold together. Maybe about 1/3 cup?, then heat.
2. Heat up the refried beans. I will crush a garlic clove and add some chili powder, cumin and oregano into the refried beans, maybe about a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of each. This is really by taste. You can buy refried beans that are already mixed with salsa or chilies, in which case just use as is.
3. Once everything is hot and your rice is done, just put your burritos together. Layer the rice, black beans and refried beans on a tortilla, add some cheese, a few slices of avocado, sprinkle on some cilantro and give the whole thing a squirt of lime juice. Wrap it up and dig in.
