Ingredients

1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)

2 garlic loves, chopped

vegetable broth or water

2 15 ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

1-2 16 oz. jars mild salsa or no-oil pasta or combination of the two. BEST use Trader Joe’s tomatillo salsa

cumin 1 tsp.

1 chipotle pepper, canned or rehydrated, minced

garlic powder, onion powder to taste

4 no-oil whole wheat thin flat bread or non-fat tortillas (Ezekiel 4:9)

2-3 tomatoes or 6-8 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced

large onion cut into slices

chopped cilantro or parsley

lime wedges

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a non-stick pan, stir-fry onion and garlic in enough vegetable broth or water to cover until softened.
  3. Add pinto beans and pasta sauce/salsa, spices, chipotle and mash (a potato masher works well), then cook for a few minutes. (If you want to expand the filling mixture you can add leftover rice, corn, or other vegetables.)
  4. Put enough pasta sauce/salsa in a baking pan just to cover the bottom. Lay onion slices on top. Spread each tortilla or piece of flat bread with bean mixture, roll up like a sausage, and place in the pan, nestling the burritos together. Cover rolled burritos with salsa, pasta sauce, or a combination of the two.
  5. Place sliced tomatoes on top of the burritos.
  6. Bake,covered, for 30 minutes, until bubbly, or more, uncovered, if you like your burritos crispy. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley.
