Pep's Burritos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 tablespoon oil
    1 medium onion
    2 cloves garlic
    1 - 11 ounce can tomatillos
    8 white mushrooms, chopped
    1 1/2 cup bell pepper (preferably some of all three colors)
    1/2 cup corn
    1 cup rice, cooked  (optional - if not using rice add 1 more can of black beans)
    1 - 14 ounce can black beans
    1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1/2 teaspoon celery seed
    6 to 8 whole wheat burrito shells
    Salsa
    Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions:

*I use leftover rice that I've frozen. Preparation time does not include cooking rice. I've made the recipe both ways - using extra black beans if not using rice and it works just fine.

1) Saute chopped onions in oil until soft. While onion is cooking, puree contents of canned tomatillos and then add to the pan of onions. Add chopped mushrooms, bell peppers, and spices to the pan and cook until the vegetables are to your liking. Stir in black beans, corn, rice and heat briefly.

2) Spoon mixture onto burrito shells and roll up by tucking in one end and folding in two sides (you will probably need a toothpick to hold it closed).

3) Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 10 minutes.

4) Serve by topping with salsa and a little chopped cilantro.

Paired with a good green salad and some tasty dressing, you have an impressive meal!
