Chipotle Bean Burritos

Before we get into things, I should probably warn you that this is not the recipe for the burritos from the Chipotle restaurant. It may look like I was trying to be deceitful, but how else do you title a bean burrito with chipotle seasoning in it?! I hope this doesn't deter you from staying though, because seriously, this recipe is incredible.

Zachary is a chipotle fanatic, so as I was browsing Pinterest last year (of course) and saw this, I knew he would love it! It turns out that I love it even more than he does! (Recipe from Cooking Light.)

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp. canola oil
• 1 garlic clove, mined
• 1/2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
• 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained
• 3 Tbsp. salsa
• 6-8 flour tortillas (Or for the calorie-conscious folks, use lettuce leaves and make them into lettuce wraps - one of our personal favs.)
• Optional toppings: cheese, tomato, lettuce, green onions, sour cream (and anything else you might like on your burrito)

Directions:

1. Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and cook one minute, stirring frequently.
3. Stir in chile powder and salt - cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
4. Stir in water and beans - bring to boil.
5. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until thickened.
6. Remove from heat and stir in salsa.
7. Partially mash beans with a fork.
8. Warm tortillas according to package directions.
9. Spoon bean mixture into the center of each tortilla and top with your favorite toppings - roll up and enjoy.

I like making this for guests because 1 - it's delicious and 2 - it satisfies those who might even be vegetarian. That's a win-win situation in my book!
