Black-bean buritto goodness!



One of my most favorite lunches is a delicious gluten free Black-bean Burrito. First I make up a tasty--not too spicy--re-fried Black-bean mix:

1/2 onion peeled and chopped medium small
1/2 red bell pepper cleaned and chopped medium small
2 tbsp. Olive oil
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground turmeric
1/8 tsp. medium hot cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups of cooked mashed black beans

Saute the onion and red bell pepper in the olive oil until soft, then add the spices and the beans, stir well and heat completely through.

Assemble the following:
1 Gluten free tortilla ( I like Food For Life Gluten Free Brown Rice Tortillas)
Cheddar cheese slices
1/4 cup cooked millet
1/4 cup of the Refried black beans from above
about 6, 1 inch by 2 inch steamed Zucchini slices

First moisten the tortilla on both sides with a little water. Next place enough cheddar cheese slices to almost cover the tortilla and melt it gently--do not make the tortilla crispy--under a broiler. Then place the millet on top and spread it out. Place the black bean saute on top of the millet and spread that out. Arrange the zucchini slices on top of the beans and roll up your burrito. Start at one end and fold in the sides as you roll. Resist the urge to pile your fillings up too high, you will not be able to roll it up!

Enjoy and have an ever so Beautiful day!
