Ingredients
- 8 large flour tortillas
- 3 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cans vegetarian refried beans OR 2 cups kidney beans, lentils, etc.
- Mexican seasoning (or make your own...I do)
- olive oil
- salsa (homemade, preferably)
If you are using kidney beans, make sure you prepare them by soaking overnight and then boiling for 2 hours. If using lentils, cook as directed. If using canned refried beans, warm in a frying pan over medium heat until bubbly. Add Mexican seasoning (or whatever spices you choose) to your beans.
Put chopped peppers into a large frying pan or saucepan and saute over medium-high heat with a little olive oil until cooked, but not mushy (about 8 minutes). Add tomatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Use a slotted spoon to take the vegetables out of the pan so that the oil stays in there. Place beans and vegetables in a tortilla and roll into a burrito; while oil is still hot, place in frying pan for a few minutes until the tortilla is crispy and brown (but not burnt!).
Serve with salsa to add to taste.
Enjoy!
