Kickass Burritos

Burritos are super easy to make. With anything. At anytime. Again, I'm using up some extra stuff in my fridge. No photo. I was ravenous.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup green chilies, diced
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
1/4 cup tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup lettuce, shredded/chopped
1/4 cup vegan cheddar, shredded
1 cup black beans, cooked
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp coriander
1/2 cup rice, cooked (you can cook the rice while putting the rest of this dish together)
Tortillas (makes approx. 2)

...why didn't I pick a jalapeño?!? Ohmygah, culinary regret. (You might want to add some sliced jalapeños if easily accessible to avoid culinary regret.)

In a large frying pan over medium heat, sauté the garlic, chilies, and scallions in oil. Add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, and coriander. Reduce heat, stirring occasionally. When rice is done cooking, add it to the frying pan and toss with the bean mixture. Add more spices to taste.

Sprinkle half the shredded cheese onto each tortilla and microwave for approximately 20 seconds to soften them. Spoon the bean mixture on, then the lettuce and tomato. I also shredded some carrot over these for more color and vegetable goodness.
