Dinner: Bean and Salsa Burritos (Vegetarian)

This recipe is adapted from one I found in Parenting magazine. In that recipe, the filling was turned into "sloppy joes" and put on hamburger buns. I found this to be too sloppy as the beans kept dropping all over the place. Plus, with all the salsa flavor, it just tasted more appropriate on a tortilla.

Ingredients:
2 tsp oil
3 minced garlic cloves
2.5 cups rinsed and drained canned beans (two 15 ounce cans of black beans or kidney beans or a combination of the two)
15 ounce jar mild, chunky salsa
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dijon mustard (could omit when making burritos)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
Shredded cheddar cheese
Tortillas or whole-wheat buns

Instructions:
1. In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat.
2. Add garlic and saute for one minute.
3. Stir in beans, salsa, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cumin and salt.
4. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes (or until the beans feel soft)
5. Spoon into warm tortillas or onto whole-wheat buns and top with cheddar cheese.
