Rice and Bean Burritos

[Guest guest]

Hello one and all, As the Director of Foods Services for a kosher

senior lunch program, I am constantly challenged to find new foods

that incorporate my tendency towards Vegetarian Behavior and the

carnivores that are the Older Adults who eat my meals.

 

Tommorow I must give a food demonstration, and I personally have

been on the path to find a great rice and bean burrito. Well after

trying numberous restaurant offerings, I came home and made my own.

Other than my preferred cheese it is Vegetarian friendly and Kosher.

 

1 packet Carolina Yellow Rice - cook as directed (Star K)

1 16 oz can Goya Black Beans -drained (O/U)

1/4 finely chopped onion

1 small head garlic mashed

cumin and chili powder to taste

Goya Salsita (my flavor of Choice is Arbol Chiles) (VK-double Aleph)

8 smaller flour tortillas - any kosher band will do

kosher cheddar shredded and used to taste (I really like Kraft

Mexican Style 4 cheese but alas it is not Kosher)

Avocado to taste

Sour Cream to taste

Salsa to taste (I use Enrico's which is half moon k)

 

While Cooking the rice, saute onion and garlic in a spot of oil

when slightly soft add cumin and chili powder, and heat for a few

moments until fragrant. Add the black beans and Salsita, and stir

gently for a few minutes. Finally add the freshly cooked hot rice

and mix.

 

From here it is just assembly. I like to put some of my condiment

right on the tortilla. Microwave about 25-30 seconds each, top with

more condiments of choice and enjoy.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful recipe. Hope your food demonstration

did go well (which I do not doubt at all with a recipe like that one!)
