This post includes a recipe! It has been far too long and I am stoked to be back in the kitchen and cooking like mad.
The inspiration for this recipe came from my best buddy Selina (who is also the author of the awesome blog Selindiana). I love creating recipes based off random ingredients, it sparks my creativity and sometimes ends up being a really good meal. So I mentioned that I was more than willing to take requests and she gave me a list of things she had on hand. I narrowed it down to things that I had on hand and this super tasty burrito and sour cream salad was the end result.
Have I mentioned I take requests? If you have something you want made veggie, or just have a bunch of ingredients lying around and you want me to try my hand at making a meal out of it, leave me a comment and I'll see what I can do. :-)
Anyways, onto the good stuff!
The tasty filling.
Sour cream salad.
The finished product.
Black Bean and Veggie Burritos
Makes enough filling for 3 large burritos.
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 medium potato, washed and cubed
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 zucchini, chopped
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced (you can use a milder chile like an Anaheim too)
1/2 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
1 1/2 cups black beans, cooked
salt, to taste
Heat oil in a medium sized skillet on medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, onion, and zucchini. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the jalapeno, corn, and black beans and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until everything is cooked and heated through.
Sour Cream Salad
Makes enough to top 3 burritos.
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
1-2 tbsp. lime juice
1/2 tsp. Mexican oregano
a pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and chill until needed.
Putting it all together
cheese (optional)
salsa (when I don't use homemade, I LOVE Mrs. Renfro's ghost pepper salsa)
3 tortillas, warmed
Layer cheese and bean/veggie mixture in warmed tortillas and top with salsa, roll up. Top the finished burritos with sour cream salad and enjoy!
Yummy, yummy, yummy!
