Black Bean Burritos
Growing up in Southern California, burritos have been something we have been eating as long as I can remember, but they have not always been the healthiest. Here’s a healthier version so you can keep burritos in your life.
Ingredients
1 large avocado(s) (cubed)
4 leaves lettuce
2 regular green onions (chopped)
¼ medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 large tomato (chopped)
2 15 oz cans black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 cup brown rice
4 large Ezekiel Tortillas
¼ cup cheese
salsa
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Cook rice as per directions on package.
- Chop your produce and grate your cheese.
- Place rinsed beans in large bowl and mash with masher until most of the whole beans are gone.
- Add about ½ of your chopped onions and a little salsa to the beans and mix.
- Place beans in small pot and warm over medium heat (stirring frequently).
- When rice is done add to beans and stir well.
- Warm your tortillas (microwave, oven or stovetop). Add some of the bean and rice mixture to tortilla and top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, onion, salsa, and a sprinkle of cheese.
