Fast, easy, delicious. What else could anyone want? I've adapted this "recipe" from a dinner my friend, Anne, made for me. The recipe is being passed along from person to person as I've made it for friends, and they've made it for others as well. This is kind of what food and cooking is all about, right? This recipe is not particular. Make changes to suit your tastes. I love lime juice, so I add more and more fresh juice every chance I get.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil, for sauteing
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small red pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, minced (add more if you like it hot)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can black beans
1 lime, sliced
4-6 tortillas (depending on how you load them up)
1-2 tomatoes, chopped (optional)
salsa (optional)
hot sauce (optional)
sour cream (optional)
cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions

1
In medium-large frying pan, heat oil over medium.
2
Cook onion and garlic, about 2 min, until just becoming transparent.
3
Add peppers and heat until soft.
4
Add black beans until everything is hot.
5
Squeeze 1/2 of lime juice over all ingredients just before serving.
6
Warm tortillas, add optional ingredients, and top with bean mixture.
7
Squeeze more lime juice over everything before folding up burrito style.
8
Enjoy.

I was starving and didn't want to make a big mess for lunch. These were perfect! I used yellow pepper and red onion and Penzey's southwest seasoning for the jalapeno. I didn't have limes, but used Newman's Pineapple Salsa and that added a bit of citrus. Very filling and tasty! Stellula, thanks for a great recipe!

This was great! I love that it is so easy, but most of all, it is so good! Next time I'm going to make some saffron rice and either mix it in with it or just eat it on the side. Thanks Stellula!

This is so easy & flavorful even my meat-loving DH enjoyed it. I whipped this up quickly on a crazy weeknight, serving with warmed whole-wheat tortillas, shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, low-fat sour cream & hot sauce. I think it would also be great to stir in any leftover rice or chopped tomatoes into the bean mixture. I'll definitely make this easy, delish, low-fat meal again!
