Steps:

• Mince garlic. Core and seed pepper, then coarsley chop. Finely chop onion. Lightly coat a large frying pan with oil and set over medium heat. Add garlic, pepper and onion. Stir often until onion starts to soften, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, rinse and drain black beans. Measure out chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and cayenne. Add beans and corn to pan. Sprinkle with spice mix. Stir occasionally until heated through, 4-5 minutes. Stir in coriander and salsa. Squeeze lime juice over top and stir to mix evenly.
• Spoon warm black bean filling eveny down centre of each warmed tortilla. (see tip for warming below) Sprinkle with your favorite toppings (see suggestions below). Wrap tortilla around filling and serve.
• Tip for warming: Wrap together in foil and place in a preheated 350 oven until warm. OR stack tortillas on a paper towel in the microwave and warm on high for 30 seconds.
• Burrito dress-ups: Consider grated light Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and light sour cream or yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet in an even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are just tender but still have a bite, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a large saute pan and place over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the jalapeno and stir to combine. Add the chili powder, tomato paste and oregano. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to release the flavors of the herbs. Then, add the spinach, beans and tomatoes. Fold gently to combine. Simmer until the spinach is wilted and the liquid has reduced by half, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the queso fresco, lime juice and sweet potatoes. Taste and season as needed.
• Distribute the mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll the tortillas, garnish with the cilantro and hot sauce and serve immediately. For freezer meal prep, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store in an airtight container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• To reheat, place wrapped burrito in the microwave and reheat for 3 minutes, flipping once. Unwrap, garnish with the cilantro and hot sauce, if desired, and serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Wrap tortillas in foil. Warm in oven until heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine onion and oil in large nonstick skillet. Stir over medium-high heat until onion is golden, about 6 minutes. Add cumin and chili powder; stir 20 seconds. Add bell pepper, corn and carrot; sauté until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes and jalapeño; bring to simmer. Season with salt and pepper. remove from heat.
• Place warm tortillas on work surface. Spoon filling down center, dividing equally. Top each with 2 tablespoons cheese, then 1 tablespoon each of sour cream and cilantro. Fold sides of tortillas over filling, forming packages. Turn each package, seam side down, onto plate.

Steps:

• In a large frying pan, heat the oil and add the garlic. Fry until golden, then add the beans. Pour in the cider vinegar, honey and spices along with 1 tsp or more of salt, to taste. Cook until warmed through, crushing gently with the back of your wooden spoon, then set aside.
• The best way to make the guacamole is with a large stone pestle and mortar, but you can use a medium bowl and a flat-ended rolling pin instead. Crush the garlic, coriander and chilli into a rough paste. Scoop in the avocado with a little salt and crush roughly - you want it chunky, not smooth. Squeeze in the lime juice and set aside.
• Mix the salsa ingredients in a small bowl. Heat a griddle pan or steamer and quickly griddle the tortillas or steam a stack of them to warm up. Reheat the bean mixture.
• To serve, put 1-2 heaped tbsp of beans on a tortilla. Top with a big spoonful of guacamole and some salsa, hot sauce and a dollop of soured cream or yogurt.
