Sometimes I end up with a lot of leftover rice. I do a lot of baking already so I don’t always want to make Rice Pudding. \u00a0Yes, sure, \u00a0Fried Rice is always an option but I don’t always have the rest of the ingredients that I would like to use on hand. Then I came across this idea on vegetarian.about.com and knew I had to try it! I didn’t follow the given recipe much but it gave me a great starting point and I went from there to create my own version of Rice and Bean Burritos.<\/p>\n

\"Rice<\/a>
Rice and Bean Burrito - a spicy blend of flavours to liven up leftover rice!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1-425gm can Black Beans, rinsed and drained
\n1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
\n1 Onion, chopped
\n2 teaspoons minced Garlic
\n1-425gm can Crushed Tomatoes or Tomato Sauce
\n1\/2 cup prepared Salsa
\n1 teaspoon ground Cumin
\n1 teaspoon Chili powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon ground Coriander
\n1 1\/2 teaspoon dried Oregano
\n1 teaspoon dried Basil
\n1 teaspoon Salt
\nPepper, to taste
\n1 3\/4 cup leftover Rice
\n1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese<\/p>\n

6 – 8 Flour Tortillas<\/p>\n

In a large skillet, over med – high heat saute onion until soft; add minced garlic and continue cooking for a few minutes.
\nAdd tomato sauce, salsa and the spices; bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes.
\nStir in leftover rice and shredded cheddar, heat through.
\nHeat 3 tortillas in the microwave, on HIGH, for 45 seconds.
\nSpoon about a cup of the rice and bean mixture onto a single heated flour tortilla; wrap.
\nRepeat with remaining tortillas, heating tortillas, 3 at a time, in the microwave before filling and wrapping.
\nTop each tortilla with some shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream and serve on a bed of lettuce.<\/p>\n

*I made up 8 burritos, wrapped them in cello wrap then l-foil and put them in the freezer for ready to go lunches in a hurry.<\/p>\n
