This recipe comes from
Taste of home magazine. DH ended up making it for some reason. He did change directions a bit to make it less spicy. It was supposed to have yogurt served with it. I had purposely bought a plain greek yogurt to add protein to the meal since it was vegetarian and less protein than our normal dinner, but we ended up eating it with sour cream. I thought the actual mix was great to eat alone, but plain in the burrito until I added sour cream and taco sauce. Sitting here reading the directions, I was supposed to add yogurt, salsa, and green onions. That would have helped as well. I also thought this would have been just as good/better with double the black beans and less rice. (Actually looking at the recipe, it says 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice. It sure seems like there was more than that. Maybe DH used 1 1/2 cups dry rice. ) I thought these were pretty plain, but they were good enough that they are what I chose to eat for lunch today, so they can't have been that bad right?
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup fresh or frozen corn, thawed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 medium green pepper, sliced
- 1 Tablespoon canola oil

- 1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice
- 8 flour tortillas, warmed
- 3/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup reduced fat plain yogurt (we used sour cream)

In a large skillet, saute corn, onion and pepper in oil until tender. Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin; cook 1 minute longer. Add beans and rice; heat through.
Spoon 1/2 cup filling in the center of each tortilla. Top with cheese, yogurt (or sour cream and taco sauce) and green onions. Roll up like a burrito. Serve with salsa.
