Burritos!!! STAPLE

Oh yes this blog post is more than just yet another snack option (FINALLY) - it's our favourite meal of the moment *licks fingers* -

BURRITOS!!!

This has several components that you wrap up together - beans, corn salsa, guacamole and Jalepenos :)

You can buy the jalepenos in a jar and find my fabulous guac recipe here.

NADINE'S BEANS

Ingredients
1 brown onion
2-3 cloves of Garlic
1 TBS Olive oil
1tspn ground coriander
1tspn ground Cumin
1tspn chilli powder - adjust to taste
810g tin of chopped tomatoes
1150g (a 400g and a 750g tin) tinned red and/or black kidney beans, drained of their brine

Method 
Cook up the oil, diced onions and garlic until the onion goes transparent. Add the spices and cook until the onions are soft. Add the beans and tomatoes and cook until slightly reduced and perfecto!



CORN SALSA

Ingredients
2 or 3 fresh corn cobs steamed
1 red capsicum diced
1 handful of corriander leaves diced
a third of a cucumber diced
1 spring onion finely chopped
juice of half a lemon
a good dash of olive oil

Method
Cut the corn kernels off the steamed corn cobs into a bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix well.


Use whatever wraps you please to wrap the four elements altogether and CONSUME WITH PLEASURE XD

Alernatively, instead of wrapping it up into a burrito; have a burrito bowl instead - just have these contents in a bowl on their own, or with brown rice, a mexican rice, or corn tortilla chips
