Beef and Black Bean Burritos.

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced (fresh or jarred)
Dash of salt and pepper
1 green pepper, choppped
1 can black beans (540 ml)
1 cup salsa (to your spice taste)
1 can chopped tomatoes (with chilis, if you can find it)
Lime juice to taste
fresh cilantro, chopped
8 tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar chees
Extra salsa and sour cream to serve on top.

Heat oil over medium high heat.  Fry onion, and peppers until softened add ground beef and garlic.
Scramble fry until meat is browned.  Add beans, salsa, tomatoes, and lime juice. Cook for about 10 minutes.  Add cilantro.  Let cool.  Spoon onto tortillas.  Sprinkle with cheese and then roll into a burrito.
Can be frozen, individually wrapped in tin foil, and then in a freezer bag or container.

Bake in oven at 400 degrees for about 10-15 minutes in a greased pan, seam side down, until it is hot and cheese is melted. Brush them lightly with little oil to make them crispy on the outside.

From frozen: unwrap and place in a greased pan, seam side down.
Bake from frozen in 400 degree oven for 25 minutes or until golden and hot.
