VEGETABLE BURRITOS

eat 5 to 9 a day

Hello. Here's more fruit and vegetable news you can really enjoy. Burritos, those wonderful Mexican treats, can be a real nutrition treasure. They usually have beans, which count as a low-fat, high protein, high fiber vegetable. My burritos also have lots of additional vegetables for texture and flavor. First, I sauté an onion in olive oil until soft. Add chopped garlic, 1 chopped red bell pepper, and 2 cups of sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender. Add cumin, chili powder, a dash of salt, and a can of reduced sodium black beans. Stir and heat through. Warm the tortillas, add the filling, some cilantro, and roll it up, turning the sides in to make a neat package. Heat again to seal the burrito. Just one can offers 2 vegetable servings per person. So, go on, do yourself a flavor. Enjoy your 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

VEGETABLE BURRITOS

Serves 6
Provides 2 vegetable servings per person

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 sweet onion (2 cups)
3 cloves garlic
1 red bell pepper (1 cup)
2 cups sliced mushrooms
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
dash of salt
1 15-ounce can reduced sodium black beans (1½ cups)
4 flour tortillas
½ cup chopped cilantro
 

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the oil in a high-sided skillet. Sauté the onions until soft and just slightly golden, 5 minutes. Add the garlic, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans with a little of their liquid and heat through.

2. Heat the tortillas in a paper bag in the microwave about 1 minute. Lay the warm tortillas on the counter and divide the filling among them and scatter cilantro on top. Roll, turning in the sides, into a neat package. Lay in a baking dish covered lightly with aluminum foil and warm through in the oven, 10 minutes (20 to 30 minutes if they have been made earlier and chilled).
