I love bold, assertive flavours. This is a quick version of the burritos my favourite restaurant serves," says GH test kitchen associate, Mary Ann Svec.
Ingredients:
- 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 tsps vegetable oil
- 4 medium zucchini (140g each), each cut lengthwise in half, then sliced crosswise
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 can (420g) Spanish-style red kidney beans
- 1-1/3 tbsps Fibresure
- 1 can (420g-540g) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 110g Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
- 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 jar (450g) chunky-style salsa
Directions:
Warm tortillas as label directs; keep warm.
In non-stick 30cm frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, cinnamon, and salt; cook until zucchini is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in 2L saucepan, heat kidney beans with their sauce, Fibresure, and black beans just to simmering over medium heat; keep warm.
To serve, allow each person to assemble a burrito as desired, using a warm flour tortilla, zucchini, bean mixture, cheese, and cilantro. Pass salsa to serve with burritos.
