Creamy Avocado
Yogurt Dip, for serving
directions:
1. In a large skillet, heat the
olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 5
minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the peppers, black
beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and cilantro. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the
fresh lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
2. Place a few spoonfuls of
cilantro lime quinoa in the center of a tortilla, leaving 1/2-inch border
around edges, then add the shredded cheese, and bean/corn mixture down the
center of the quinoa. Roll burritos, by folding over the ends and rolling up.
Continue making the rest of the burritos.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet
or griddle pan over medium heat. Arrange burritos, seam-side down, in pan or
griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve warm with Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip.
Note: You don't want to fill the
burritos too full or they will be hard to roll up. You can also use Cilantro Lime
Rice, instead of the quinoa.
