bean burritos and dessert

[Guest guest]

I've been in lurkedom forever Time to contribute!

 

I had this for dinner last night - it is our favorite because it's

good and very quick! No heating up your kitchen with this one!

 

*Bean Burritos*

Flour tortillas (10 " work well)

1 can vegetarian refried beans

green onions, chopped

salsa

sour cream (optional)

cheese (optional)

 

Heat the beans in a bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes, stirring at

least once. Heat each tortilla for about 10-20 seconds in the

microwave. If you are using cheese, sprinkle that on the tortilla

first so it can melt a little. Spoon a strip of beans onto each

tortilla (about 1/4-1/2 cup) Sprinkle with the green onions, spoon

some salsa and some sour cream on. Fold one side, then fold up the

bottom, then roll the rest up. MMM! Quick and good!

 

Then for dessert. We are trying to cut some fat out of our diet, so

there goes ice cream! Instead, get some vanilla yogurt. Check to

make sure there's no geletin in it if you are vegetarian. We use

Dannon vanilla yogurt in the bigger containers. Then, mix in a

teaspoon of your favorite jam or jelly and your favorite fresh fruit.

Last night I used homemade rhubarb/cranberry jelly with a bunch of

fresh blueberries. This weekend, we cut up fresh strawberries, golden

apples and blueberries. I promise you won't miss the ice cream! This

is a good hint for those of you who don't eat geletin, but also don't

like plain old vanilla yogurt. (Ever notice all/almost all the

flavored yogurts have geletin? Why is that! I didn't eat yogurt for

years before I figured out I could make my own flavors!) This also

makes a great breakfast. You can make this up ahead in small gladware

containers, and have them ready for your whole week.

 

Happy Wednesday
