Recipe Box: Easy Bean and Veggie Burritos!


Hello folks!

I found this recipe over at Spark People a couple of years and it has since become a favourite go-to dish of mine. It's quick, simple and inexpensive. I often whip up a batch before a good run of night shifts :) You can make it as hot or as mild as you like. Once I'd made it a few times, I became less finicky about the ingredients portions and just started piling it all in! I like it super hot ;) Follow the instructions below to make enough for 4 tortilla wraps. 

Ingredients

443g can black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained.
1 cup frozen sweetcorn. 
1/2 green pepper, chopped.
226g salsa.
1 teaspoon chilli powder.
1 dash hot sauce.
4 whole wheat tortillas.
As much cheese as you like!
Non-stick spray

To the kitchen!
  • Drain the beans and rinse well.
  • Spray a medium-sized saucepan with a little non-stick spray and put it on a low heat.
  • Add the beans and mash them with a fork, leaving a few beans in one piece. 
  • Add the sweetcorn, green pepper, salsa, chilli powder and hot sauce. Mix it all up on a medium heat until the mixture is hot. 
  • Warm up the tortillas according to the package instructions.
  • Spread a quarter of the bean mixture onto one of the tortillas and add the desired amount of cheese.
  • Fold in both sides of the tortilla and roll up into a secure wrap. 
  • Continue to do the same with the other three and enjoy!
