Black Bean Burritos

This recipe came from the fabulous website What's in it for me? This Texas gal has a series she posts called What's cookin' good lookin' that I stalk regularly for good recipe ideas. Check it out!

We made this the other night. Trying to do more veggie dishes. This was pretty good, especially on sprouted tortillas and grilled (wrapped in tin foil). Pretty tasty. This recipe didn't make enough for the whole fam and I ended up making a second batch. Doesn't it look beautiful? I also left out the corn to lower the glycemic factor.
Black Bean Burritos

1 can black beans drained

¾ can corn drained

1 small zucchini chopped

3 roma tomatoes chopped

1 stalk green onions chopped

1/3 cup vegetable oil (I used melted butter since all except coconut oil become toxic when heated)

juice from 3 limes

salt to taste


Marinate together for a few hours. Place a large spoonful of veggies (Drain out the juice. I use a sloted spoon.) on burrito shell and top with mozzarella cheese. Close with toothpick (we wrapped them in tin foil). BBQ or grill under the broiler until lightly browned on both sides.
