Black Bean Burritos

And here is an email from Moiya, copies and pasted here.  First she gives you the grocery list and then the recipe:

This is a go to fast meal that we just LOVE
You need only:

Flour Tortillas from Costco
Red Peppers
Crushed Garlic
Onions
Black Beans - 2 cans because we double the recipe
Cream Cheese
Jalapeno - a little bit. (I now buy a few and put them in the freezer whole - then take one out and cut up the
                            tsp. I need & put the rest back into the freezer for the next recipe)
Fresh Cilantro - I love this on it.

The recipe doesn’t call for any cheddar but I sometimes sprinkle the top of the burrito with some cheddar. I wouldn’t say that I smother it but you could if you wanted to.  You surely don’t need to because they are good … so good just the way they are.

Mmmmm it is almost lunch time
They are as good as Costa Vida!!!!!

  1. Mary said she would add her version in the comments section, but since I am here, I will slip it in.

    FROM MARY:
    I added more than called for pepper (a whole one), only one can of beans, half a can of tomatoes with juice that I chopped up, some chili powder, oregano and garlic salt. I put half the mixture in the blender and left half chuncky, then cooked a little more to reduce and make thicker. Then added cream cheese. Was delicious even without fresh cilantro. Deisree’s version more kid friendly.
