No Fuss Burritos

Beans are filling and add heart healthy fibre to this recipe. Leftover beans can be placed in a plastic bag and frozen for use later.

INGREDIENTS

•  about 1 pound (454 grams) lean ground beef
•  1 burrito kit (contains 8 tortilla shells, seasoning mix and burrito sauce)
•  1 onion, chopped
•  1 green pepper, chopped
•  1 cup canned beans like kidney or black beans, rinsed then drained
• 1 cup shredded cheese, any kind

PREPARATION

•  On medium heat, cook the lean ground beef, onions and peppers in a large frying pan. Stir often, breaking up the beef into smaller pieces.
•  Cook until browned, at least 10 minutes then drain the excess grease.
•  Stir in 1 ¼ cups of water, the seasoning mix and the beans.
•  Cook on low-medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
•  For easier rolling, heat the tortillas. Remove the tortillas from the package, place on a plate and microwave for about 30 to 45 seconds until warm.
• Spoon burrito filling into each burrito, top with shredded cheese and burrito sauce. Fold or roll up and serve.
