Black Bean Burrito Salad - Eating At Home

 

This weeks recipe is really just a salad. Made with basic things you have in your fridge.

I made a batch of black beans this week and I was looking for different ways to use them. If you have an instant pot and you can get your hands on some dried beans, please try making them at home. They are superior in taste and make much more sense money wise, than canned that you buy in the store. The canned ones work with this also.

Black Bean Burrito Salad

Stuff to gather:

~Flour tortilla (one large one is nice - this time I used three little ones )(to cut carbs- those low carb ones also work well)

~1/2 cup of black beans 

~1/4 cheddar shredded

~1 - 1/2 cups of lettuce (dice it smallish)

~1/4 cup of onion (dice small also) - this is if you like onion

~Spices: garlic, onion, (optional is taco seasoning - but I used lime pepper)

Optional

>salsa, sour cream, tomato (dice small), jalapeno, avocado

The putting together:

1. Take your beans and put them in a pan to warm up, add your spices that you would like. 

2. The tortilla, lay in the microwave and cook until it gets to where it is lightly brown and then let sit, it will harden. (In this salad, I did the three little ones. then fixed in a triangle in my bowl and pressed in the middle and it made like a nice little bowl area for the salad. ) 

3. Prepare the bowl, layer in your lettuce, then what you like. In mine I put lettuce, next onion, next tomato, and then my warm beans. 

On top put shredded cheese, and jalapenos and finish with some sour cream (greek yogurt is my go to.)

A very yummy salad. The tortilla that is crunchy and then the warm beans on top of a cold lettuce and tomatoes. With the slightly melty cheese and sour cream. Mix up and then use the tortilla like a scoop, and when you get to the bottom. My favorite part, it is still slightly crunchy, but it is mixed with all the stuff and has soaked up all that goodness. 

I was a very satisfied with this. This salad will be on repeat.
