Brown Rice And Bean Burrito Recipes

Steps:

• Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot butter until onion is translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Melt 1 more tablespoon butter with onions and garlic; stir chili powder, paprika, cumin, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cloves, and nutmeg into mixture. Cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
• Stir black beans and tomato sauce into contents of skillet; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until flavors blend, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir cilantro into the sauce, and let cilantro wilt, about 5 more minutes.
• Fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup cooked rice and 1/3 cup bean mixture.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a big pot. Add garlic, onion, and jalepeno. Stir until onion is soft and clear.
• Add the kidney beans and 1/2 the water, still stirring. Mash the beans up a little with a fork or a poato masher. Add the black beans and stir them inches If you want you can mash them up a little also. Keep stirring.
• Once this starts to simmer, and the corn, tomatoes, and the retained tomato juices.
• Add the rest of the water. If you are going to let this simmer for a long time while you clean up or make salsa, or if your tomatos weren't very juicy, you will need to add an extra cup of water. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.
• Let this simmer until it is the consistancy you want. It will get better with longer simmering, as long as you stir occasionally and keep it a little bit wet. I recomend about a 1/2hr, but 5 min works fine too.
