Serves 8
Ingredients
- piece medium onion, chopped
- piece green or yellow pepper, stemmed, seeded and chopped
- piece jalapeño chile, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
- clove garlic, minced
- cup cooked brown rice
- cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned fire-roasted, liquid reserved)
- cup black beans (or 1 15-ounce can), rinsed well
- teaspoon ground cumin
- teaspoon ancho chili powder (or other pure, mild chili powder)
- teaspoon chipotle chili powder (or more, to taste)
- teaspoon smoked paprika
- dash salt and freshly ground black pepper
- piece 7- to 8-inch whole grain tortillas
Instructions
- Heat a deep, non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown.
- Add the pepper, jalapeño, and garlic, and cook for another 2 minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Add the remaining ingredients, stir, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes. If it becomes too dry, add a little vegetable broth or reserved tomato juice.
- Check the flavor, and add salt and additional seasonings to taste.
- In a dry nonstick skillet over medium heat, warm tortillas one at a time 40 seconds or until warm and pliable, turning once. Cover with a damp cloth to keep warm.
- Spread about 1 cup of the bean-and-veggie mixture onto each tortilla just below the center. Fold bottom edge of each tortilla over filling. Fold in opposite sides; roll up tortilla. Place burritos, seam sides down, on a platter. Serve warm. If desired, pass hot pepper sauce.
