SUMMER VEGGIE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil over medium in the largest skillet you own.

• Add black beans.
• Cook til heated through.
• Warm tortillas.
• Spread some sour cream onto a tortilla.
• Spoon some veggies onto sour cream.

• Notes: There will be some liquid in the veggie mix - use a slotted spoon so your burrito doesn't end up too drippy. I drain the veggies before I put away any leftovers. The last time I made these I served them to my toddlers as quesadillas with some Monterey Jack. It was easier for them to hold that way, and my husband decided he loved the quesadilla version, too. :).
