Black Bean Wraps

I called these burritos before - just a few posts back.

I basically fixed these the same but added onion, garlic and bell pepper to the black beans and cooked them for a while so they would be a little more flavorful and not so "juicy".

Again, this has proved to be a great meal.

Another thing I love about these meals is the ease of preparation. I can dream up and cook the whole meal in an hour or less. I would think the chopping takes the longest.

I am off to cruise the web for more recipes today.

Friday Lunch-Chicken Wrap w/avocado

Friday begins the "meat if we want it" part of the week.

For lunch I toyed with the idea of all sorts of things, some good for me and some not. I remembered how good the whole wheat tortillas were last night and decided to just add a little chicken to it to have the best of both worlds.I took out of the freezer 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast that was very small - really it was only about 3 inches long. I think it would qualify for that "deck of cards" size rule easily. I browned it up in a skillet with nothing but a spray of olive oil, salt and pepper. I have been using a pepper called "Hot Shot" which is a blend of red and black pepper. Not really too hot but looks good on the food!

Prior to building this great meal, I blended with a fork avocado, Hot 'n Spicy Mayo from Kraft (so yummy!), lemon juice, salt and pepper. I spread this on the warm tortilla, sprinkled pepper jack cheese, added the chicken cut in strips, and added onion, tomato and lettuce left from last night.The avocado gave it a totally different taste, and of course the chicken was good also. Still fairly healthy and very yummy.
