Happy Monday! Tonight we had Chipotle Bean Burritos. I was somewhat nervous making this meal because it is a vegetarian dish and Bryan does not like it when meat is not involved. They turned out surprisingly well.
Some substitutions I made for the recipe were using chili power and red pepper flakes in place of the chipotle chile powder. I also used white onion because it is what I had. Making the bean mixture was extremely easy and once that is done you can use whatever toppings you normally would put on a taco. Since Bryan is a plain Jane and I am a fancy Nancy we had quite the spread of toppings.
I enjoy this recipe because it not only tastes good but is pretty healthy as well! The beans I used were "no salt added" and the tortillas were "carb smart" and only 80 calories. Next time, we could even have naked burritos using the bean mixture. It is a fast meal and easy to throw together. The other positive I learned from this meal was how to properly fold a burrito! :) Sorry for no picture...use your imagination!
