Today I came home from class at noon and had another class at 1 p.m., but I was starving. Since spring break is coming up soon, I haven’t been buying as many groceries. I’m kind of running out of food, so I had to make something out of the food in my fridge.
The last batch of blurry cell phone pictures.
By the way, I got a new digital camera, so this is the last you’ll see of these gross pictures.
So I pulled part of a zucchini, a bell pepper and a jalapeño out of the fridge. I decided I’d make a burrito, since I had leftover tortillas from my enchilada experiment.
This is becoming pretty routine.
I chopped up the vegetables and added in some garlic because…well, duh.
I used the last of my olive oil. Wah.
I found some black beans and tomatoes (with jalapeños) in my food closet. I also grabbed the cumin and, of course, the olive oil. Then I remembered I had some leftover Morningstar “ground beef” in the freezer, so I got that out too. I drained the excess liquid from the tomatoes and black beans.
I would eat this filling all by itself.
I sauteed the fresh vegetables in the oil and cumin first for a few minutes. Then I added the beans and tomatoes. After that, I added the “ground beef” and let it cook until all the excess water was gone.
The burrito folding instructions were on the tortilla wrapper.
I put the filling in the tortilla.
Delicious.
I sprinkled cheese on top, folded it up, and ate it. And it was so delicious that I had to eat another one.
This whole process took about 20 minutes, so I still had time to relax before class. I think this is a great idea to try with my vegetable leftovers from now on.
