RANCH BLACK BEANS WRAPS

Black beans are often used in mexican food. I use them in all kind of recipes, from chili to dips. This is a innovative wrap I have created when I was very low on money and also very busy, so I had to eat a lot of wraps and be creative! It turned out to be really delicious and cheap too.



Ranch Black Beans wraps


1) 1 can of cooked black beans
2) 1 can of cooked sliced beets
3) 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4) 4 whole wheat tortillas
5) 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts
6) organic Ranch salad dressing (to avoid nasty preservatives and unknown ingredients!)
7) salt and pepper to taste
8) 1/2 cup hot marinated banana peppers rings (chopped)
9) margarine or butter


Rinse the beans in a colander until completly free of gooey liquid (Really important).

Cut the beets in little dice.

In a bowl, mix beans, beets, feta and banana peppers.

Put mix on tortillas and top with sprouts, creamy Ranch dressing, salt and pepper.

Wrap it all up and spread a bit of margarine or butter on both sides of wrap.

Cook in a panini toaster until the mixture inside gets warm/hot.

If you don't have one, try this handy trick:
put wrap in a normal frying pan on low fire and put a plate on top of the wrap to keep it flat. Put a heavy unopened can on top of plate to make it heavier. Turn around in mid cooking. Careful as plate on top can be hot.

Enjoy!!

very quick n easy vegetarian burritos recipe

This is what you're gonna need in order to make those delicious lentils burritos that even your meat-eating friends will love. The cooked lentils give the illusion of a meaty ground beef texture in this preparation. It's pretty handy to always have canned legumes and already steamed rice in the fridge. A couple of the ingredients are optional and you will find that the recipe works fine without them. But I recommend usind them.

DELICIOUS FAST N EASY BURRITOS


1) 1 can of pre-cooked lentils
2) 6-8 large Whole wheat or multi-grains Tortillas
3) 1 big jar of your choice of chunky salsa
4) 1 small onion (of your choice but yellow works fine)
5) 1 red capsicum (that's pepper)
6) white or brown rice, cooked
7) salt and pepper
8) any kind of vegetable oil (though I recommend grapeseed since you're gonna heat it up)
9) one pinch of cumin (optional)
10) 1 cup of sour cream or veggie alternative (optional)
11) Fresh cilantro (optional)
12) 1 fresh lime (optional)


First heat the oil in a wok, skimmer or large pot.

Add chopped onions and sliced red capsicums, salt and pepper.

Cook for a while until tender.

Add lentils and salsa and simmer on low fire for about 8-10 minutes (Add cumin near the end).

Pour mixture on tortillas bread and add hot or cold rice on top.

Sprinkle with lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro.

You can put the sour cream inside the burritos or in a little side dish (ramequin).

Spice things up with hot sauce if you'd like or choose a hot salsa. You can also have a side of guacamole, but this takes longer to prepare. Use it if you have it!

Serve with yams fries or fresh mixed salad and a Corona. Yum!!
