• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 30 minutes

Ingrédients

• 4 large wraps

• 400g black beans

• 100g shredded cheese of choice, like cheddar or mozzarella

• 1 red bell pepper, chopped

• 1 zucchini, chopped

• 1 small red onion, diced

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp chili powder

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp black pepper

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika

• 1 tbsp hot sauce (optional)

• Salsa

• Sour cream

Instructions

1. Heat a large pan on medium heat for 1 minute, then add in your olive oil.

2. Add your chopped zucchini, bell pepper and onion into the pan, and cook over a medium low flame for about 7-8 minutes until the veggies begin to soften- stir occasionally.

3. Once the veggies start to become tender, add in your black beans, hot sauce and spices. Toss together to coat evenly, and continue to cook over a medium flame for an additional 5-7 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and let the veggies cool for 5 minutes before assembling your burrito.

5. Assemble the burritos

6. Lay a wrap flat onto your working surface, spread some cheese over the center, and pour about 1/3 cup of the filling into the center. Fold the sides of the burrito over, then begin rolling tightly from the bottom.

7. To freeze, wrap each burrito individually in parchment paper or foil, and store in a reusable or ziplock bag for up to 2 months.

8. If desired, you can grill the burritos before freezing them. Wipe down the pan you cooked your veggies in, and grill each side of the burrito on medium heat for about 2 minute- start with the opening side down. Once cool, follow wrapping instructions above.

How to reheat

• MICROWAVE INSTRUCTIONS: remove burrito from freezer and unwrap. Place on a plate and microwave for 1 minute, flip over and microwave additional minute. You can also choose the “defrost” setting for 2 minutes, or defrost for 1 minute and continue to cook on a heated pan for another 3-4 minutes.

• OVEN INSTRUCTIONS: Bake from frozen on 350 for 20-25 minutes unwrapped, flipping halfway through. To save time in the oven, you can defrost the burrito in the fridge overnight and cut down baking time to 10-15 minutes!
