VEGETARIAN TEX MEX BEAN BURRITOS
Quick and easy spicy bean burritos that the whole family will enjoy! Tex-Mex is a highly spiced and vibrant style of cooking that developed as an evolution of Northern Mexican cuisine. These burritos are fairly spicy with 1/2 tbsp chili powder and medium salsa. Feel free to increase the chili powder if using a milder salsa. I also use whole-wheat tortillas for extra fibre. These freeze well.

Steps:
- In a food processor, process beans and seasonings until smooth.
- Spread out the 8 tortillas; add an equal amount of the bean mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- On top of the bean mixture on each tortilla, add a sprinkle of mozzarella and cheddar cheese, some salsa, chopped pepper, and sour cream.
- Fold tortillas up into burritos (fold the bottom third of tortilla over the filling; fold over both sides of tortilla; roll up to enclose the filling).
- Place burritos in a nonstick frying pan or electric frying pan over medium heat.
- Flip burritos often until golden brown.
- OAMC; To Freeze - For a quick snack or dinner later on, after finishing frying, place single burritos (or family size portions if for a family meal) into plastic storage bags, then place individual bags into large freezer bag and freeze.
- To re-heat - When ready for a burrito, pop it out of the bag and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on medium power. Or, for a crispier burrito, pan fry the burrito until warm the outside is crisp.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Chop your veggies, rinse and drain your beans, and measure out your spices before you start cooking. This will make the assembly process much smoother.
- Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook your veggies and beans without overcrowding them.
- Don't skip the seasoning: The spices in this recipe are essential for flavor. Be sure to measure them accurately and add them to your skillet according to the recipe.
- Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make your burritos more pliable and easier to roll. If you don't have fresh tortillas on hand, you can warm up store-bought tortillas in a skillet or the microwave before assembling your burritos.
- Load up your burritos: Don't be shy about adding plenty of fillings to your burritos. The more fillings you add, the more delicious they will be.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Serve your burritos with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
