Burritos

1 teaspoon cumin seed
black pepper
white pepper powder
1 Tbsp (give or take) red pepper
(can replace with combination of Paprika and Chipotle powder)
cinnamon (about 1 tsp)
1 15-oz can black beans
1 red, yellow OR green pepper diced
(or any combination of the 3)
1 small onion diced
4 large cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1/4-1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4-6 tortillas
juice of 1/2 lime

Optional:
1/2-1 cup diced chicken, beef, or chorizo
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
1/4 fresh cilantro

Saute garlic, onion, bell pepper and cumin seeds in 1 Tbsp olive oil. If using meat, saute along with garlic/onions
Add beans and 1/2 cup water. Add pepper, red pepper, cinnamon, and simmer about 20 minutes. Add lime and cilantro at the end (if using)
Wrap tortillas with bean mixture, cheese, tomatoes or salsa.

Very flexible recipe. We used leftover grilled chicken and it was very yummy!
Even my Chinese family thought so :-)
