{Healthy}Bean & Rice Burritos
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed and drained if canned
1 ½ teaspoons minced canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced
1 carrot, thinly slice diagonally
1 Tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
4 (10 inch) fat free flour tortillas

Combine the rice, beans, and chipotles in microwave safe bowl and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until hot, about 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Set aside.

Combine the bell peppers, carrot, and oil in another microwave safe bowl and toss to coat. Add the chili powder and salt, toss to mix. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high power until softened, about 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes.

Warm the tortillas as package label directs and lay out on a work surface. Spoon the rice mixture across the center, and top with the vegetable mixture.

Fold the bottom end upward, covering the filling by 2 inches. Tightly fold both sides inward, overlapping slightly. Wrap the top side over.

Serve with lightly buttered corn.
