Recipe Description:

You can make a batch of beans the night before for this recipe. To reduce time use a can of pinto beans. This fresh homemade salsa makes 1 cup, more than what you need for this recipe. Save the rest for a dip or another breakfast such as the quinoa super bowl to add salsa on top of eggs.

  • Number of servings:

Ingredients:

  • 1 15-oz. can pinto beans, drained
  • 4 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and mashed
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 1 jalapeño, seed and veins removed, diced or roasted* (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh salsa (see recipe) or store bought salsa
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. To prepare salsa:
  2. Blend tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, garlic, cilantro and lime juice in a blender. Place salsa in a nonstick saucepan on medium high heat, let it boil for 2 minutes. Reduce heat and warm for 5 minutes. This salsa will be reduced to about 1 1/2 cup and will have a brick red color. Add salt to taste. Set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, mash avocado and add garlic powder, lime juice and sea salt to taste. Set aside.
  4. Reheat beans and diced jalapeño in a skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup fresh salsa (or store bought) and mash beans with a masher for about 2 minutes until soft. It makes about 1 cup. If beans get too dry, add a tablespoon of salsa.
  5. To assemble each burrito:
  6. Add 1/4 cup beans, a spoonful of salsa and then 1/4 cup of mashed avocado. Roll tortillas and wrap.

Notes & Tips:

If not eaten immediately, wrap into aluminum foil and take it to go.

Add fresh Mexican queso fresco if desired.
