Bean, Quinoa, and Avocado Burrito

Yummied, yum, yum, yummmmmm!  I have made this recipe twice in the past week. As I sit and write this on a Saturday night I am already planning the next time I can make it! So, so very good!



What you will need:
1 T olive oil
1 small onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 handful of cilantro
1/4 cup of lime juice
2 colored peppers, chopped
1 1/2 t chili powered
1 t cumin
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt and black pepper
1 can of beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of sweet corn, drained and rinsed
Whole wheat tortillas

Cilantro Lime Quinoa
1 cup of quinoa
2 cups water
cilantro
juice of 1/2 a lime

Avocado Smash
1 avocado
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1-2 chopped tomatoes
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt and pepper to taste

Whole wheat tortillas


First start by cooking quinoa according to package directions.  After cooked pull off heat and add cilantro and lime juice. 

Now it is time to start the other filling for the burrito.

Sautee 2 peppers and onion and add garlic at the end.

After sautéing add beans, corn, cilantro and seasonings. Keep warm on a low medium heat.

Now time to make the avocado smash.

 Smash up the avocado and add the rest of the peppers, lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper. 


Now put the cilantro quinoa, black bean mix, and avocado smash into a tortilla wrap it up and ENJOY!

If you keep the avocado pit with the avocado smash you can keep the left overs in the fridge.  It will not turn brown and be ready for leftovers.  Once made this is a great go-to lunch or in a hurry supper.
