    I’ve been making black bean burritos for my kids for years, and they actually prefer that to burritos with meat in them. We are not vegetarian or vegan, but try to incorporate 3-4 meatless meals per week. Mainly because my wife has a degenerative kidney disorder that is compounded by proteins from animals.

    Ingredients are:

    Lime Can of black beans Bell pepper Onion Sharp cheddar cheese Avocado or guac Cumin Chili powder Salt Burrito sized tortillas Hot sauce (optional) Crispy jalapenos (optional)

    Slice up the onion and pepper and toss it in a pan or skillet on medium-low. Add a little salt to help them sweat. Cook these till the onions are caramelized. At the end, add the juice from half of the lime and season with cumin and chili powder to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Put another pan/skillet on heat or rinse the pan you just used and placed back on heat.

    Drain and rinse the black beans, then season with cumin, and salt to taste.

    Shred the cheddar cheese and slice the avocado if you have one.

    Assemble and toast the burrito, turning it as it browns.

    Enjoy. I hope.

      I think I’ll try that, even though blackeyed ones are not my favourite beans (I feel I never get the consistency of them right). Also, I might need to try these by myself, or figure out a way to make gluten free tortillas that don’t crumble when slightly looked at, as my SO has gluten allergy.

      Also, might need to keep cumin in mind, when making beans.
