Funny Face Burritos

 

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 tsp. canola oil

1/4 yellow onion, diced

Chili powder to taste (optional)

1 1-lb. can (or 2 cups cooked) kidney or pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 cup mild salsa

 

Toppings;

Sliced black olives

Cherry tomatoes

Red bell pepper strips

Cooked corn kernels

Shredded lettuce leaves

Grated carrots

 

Wrap the tortillas in foil and warm them in the oven on low for about

10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Sautè

the onion until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chili powder and

cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and salsa and cook until the beans

are heated through.

Place the bean mixture in a food processor and purèe until smooth.

Spread 1/4 of the bean mixture on each tortilla. Let kids make faces

on the tortillas using the vegetables (e.g., sliced black olives for

eyes, cherry tomatoes for noses, red pepper slices for lips, corn

kernels for teeth, and shredded lettuce or grated carrots for hair).

Makes 4 servings.
