Yield:
30 Servings
Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 lb Dry black bean
1/2 lb Dry pinto beans
1/2 lb Dry kidney beans
30 x Tortilla shells (I use Mex-america, 10" shells)
10 x Scallions, minced
3/4 lb Mushrooms, minced
2 x Cubannelle peppers, minced
1/2 pkt Whole wheat couscous, cooked (or use whole wheat & tomato angel hair pasta)
Habenero-based hot sauce
Lemon juice
Red pepper paste or tabasco
Cilantro, enuf so when you grasp stems together its 2" across, minced
1 tbl Habenero sauce (I use Melindas XXX, which is carrot/habenaro)
2 tbl Red pepper paste (I use Vietnamese err! cant remember! olem sambek?)
1 tbl Cumin
1 tbl Lemon juice
Instructions:
Instructions: My latest variation on veggie lo-fat burritos: (from memory, may be wrong)

Soak beans overnight, boil till soft, mushable. Add habenero sauce, red pepper paste, cumin, and lemon juice.

To a large teflon skillet add: add 1 Tbs butter (Yes, butter Ick! But its 1T for 30 servings!). Heat, then cook mushrooms & cubanelles in it.

(Mushrooms NEED butter, it makes them smile)

Get seperate mixing bowls for mushrrom/pepper; scallions;cilantro, couscous and another one for water, and one for bean mix (not all the beans at once). Take a tortilla, Nuke it for 35 sec on high. Take it out, put on wood buthcer block, spread with water, flip over, spread with water. I use a palmful of water on each side. Now, put 2-3 heaping teasponns of bean in a line 1/3 way from one edge. Add 1 tsp (non heaping) of cilantro, scallions, mushrooms and 1 Tblsp couscous. Roll over once, fold edges over, finish rolling.

When you get used to it you can throw the next one in Nuker after putting fillings on, but before folding - it takes me about 30 seconds to fold one.

BTW, its tempting to mix all the non bean ingredients together- but dont you can really taste the different "layers"
