Simple vegetarian rice and bean burrito recipe.

8 large burritos:

• 1 small onion chopped
• 1 tomato chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tbls chile powder
• 1 tbls cumin
• 1 can black beans (drained)
• 1 package of prepared rice (60 second rice from Trader Joe's)
• 1 can vegetarian refried beans
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 8 large burrito tortillas
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese

Preheat non stick skillet to medium. In a separate pan, prepare refried beans. Add onion and tomato. Cook until translucent. Add spices, stir. Add beans & rice, mix throughly. Heat through, then top with Cilantro. Remove from heat.

Smear a dollop of refried beans on the center of the wrap. Add rice and bean mixture. Sprinkle with cheese, and roll up. Serve with guac, sour cream, and salsa.

This is an AWSOME condiment to put on or in any mexican dish. I got hooked by the free sample from the central square Bread and Circus, and Tasha then showed me how to make it.  It should be noted that T makes this much better than I do.

serves 8:

• 2 Ripe Haas Avocados
• 1/4 small onion diced
• 1/4 small tomato diced
• 4-5 sprigs of chopped cilantro (leaves and thin stems only)
• juice of 1/4 of a lemon
• sea salt to taste
• coarse fresh ground pepper to taste
• 1/4 of a clove of fresh garlic

Slice avocados in 1/2 remove pits. and scoop flesh into bowl. Juice lemon over avocados, this should help keep the Guac green. Add diced onion, tomato, garlic, cilantro, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher. Chill for 30+ minutes, season to taste.

Excellent on burritos, fajitas, tacos, or nachos. The recipe scales resaonably well, just watch out for the lemon, it can be strong.
