You can tell from my blog, I am a big fan of fast meals. One night when I needed a hearty meal and hadn't had time to shop I threw this together. This is why my tips on keeping a stocked pantry help so much on those nights you might be tempted to order out or grab fast food. All of these items I used are on my staples list! I love Morning Star Farms Spicy Black Bean Burgers but this was my first experiment doing them any way other than as a burger and it was awesome! the Below recipe is to make one burrito. This is what I had on hand, but any salsa would be delicious and you could certainly add some Greek yogurt if you want a healthy alternative to sour cream. I also once added a few "salad topper" tortilla strips for a little crunch!
Black Bean Burger Turned Burrito
- 1 Spicy Black Bean Burger (I love MorningStar Farms)
- 1 whole wheat tortilla ( I keep Ole Xtreme Wellness High Fiber, Low Carb tortillas in my pantry constantly)
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1/4 of avocado diced
- Either shredded lettuce or mixed greens chopped
- 1 tablespoon crumbled queso fresco
- 3 tablespoons fresh pico or fresh refrigerated salsa
- 5 cherry tomatoes, halved
- Spray a nonstick skillet with olive oil cooking spray. Heat on medium heat.
- Cook your black bean burger about 4 minutes each side until it crisps up.
- When you take the burger out of the pan, throw the tortilla in it to heat about 30-45 seconds each side.
- Slice the black bean burger into 4 pieces.
- Layer your burrito with the black bean burger slices, cheese, lettuce, avocado, tomatoes and salsa.
- Fold in the sides and WRAP IT UP!
