Vegetarian Grilled Burrito

by Lori on August 3, 2011

I loved this recipe! We added poblano peppers instead of the green chilies and we used a pepper jack cheese for more heat. Next time we make it I plan to use less corn.
Thanks to Alysa at Inspired RD for this great recipe!

Vegetarian Grilled Stuffed Burritos
Ingredients:
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can lowest-sodium black beans, rinsed
One 4oz. can diced green chiles
1/2 cup Mexican beer (such as Tecate)
2 cups frozen corn (or 1 can lowest-sodium canned corn)
1 can lowest-sodium diced tomatoes, rinsed
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (1/2 lime)
4 large tortillas
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Stir in black beans and jalapenos.  Cook for 2 minutes while lightly mashing the beans against the side of the pan.
2. Stir beer into black beans and green chiles and bring to a boil.  Cook for 10 minutes, continuing to mash the beans against the side of the pan every few minutes.
3. Stir in corn and tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes (until heated through).  Stir in lime juice and take mixture off heat.
4. Lay tortillas on a work surface.  Sprinkle cheese in center of the tortilla then spoon 1/4 cup of bean mixture on top.  Fold up into a burrito.
5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.  Place burrito folded side down and cook until browned.  Flip over and brown other side.  Cut in half and serve. (recipe inspired by Rachael Ray)
