Quick BurritosIngredients (use vegan versions): 8 large flour tortillas
3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 cans vegetarian refried beans OR 2 cups kidney beans, lentils, etc.
Mexican seasoning (or make your own...I do)
olive oil
salsa (homemade, preferably)
Directions:If you are using kidney beans, make sure you prepare them by
soaking overnight and then boiling for 2 hours. If using
lentils, cook as directed. If using canned refried beans,
warm in a frying pan over medium heat until bubbly. Add
Mexican seasoning (or whatever spices you choose) to your
beans.
Put chopped peppers into a large frying pan or saucepan and
saute over medium-high heat with a little olive oil until
cooked, but not mushy (about 8 minutes). Add tomatoes and
cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to take the vegetables out of the pan so
that the oil stays in there. Place beans and vegetables in
a tortilla and roll into a burrito; while oil is still hot,
place in frying pan for a few minutes until the tortilla is
crispy and brown (but not burnt!).
Serve with salsa to add to taste.
Enjoy!
