Vegetarian Tex Mex Bean Burritos - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (14 ounce) can vegetarian baked beans, in tomato sauce
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
64 inches flour tortillas
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded (approx amount)
1/2 cup low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded (approx amount)
1/2 cup salsa (approx amount)
1/2 cup pepper, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup nonfat sour cream (optional)
Preparation
-
In a food processor, process beans and seasonings until smooth.
Spread out the 8 tortillas; add an equal amount of the bean mixture in the center of each tortilla.
On top of the bean mixture on each tortilla, add a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, some salsa, chopped pepper, and sour cream.
Fold tortillas up into burritos (fold the bottom third of tortilla over the filling; fold over both sides of tortilla; roll up to enclose the filling).
Place burritos in a nonstick frying pan or electric frying pan over medium heat.
Flip burritos often until golden brown.
OAMC; To Freeze - For a quick snack or dinner later on, after finishing frying, place single burritos (or family size portions if for a family meal) into plastic storage bags, then place individual bags into large freezer bag and freeze.
To re-heat - When ready for a burrito, pop it out of the bag and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on medium power. Or, for a crispier burrito, pan fry the burrito until warm the outside is crisp.
