Simple Bean Burritos

What you need for this one is pretty basic

1 can refried beans (our family found Trader Joes makes the best for our American friends and on those on Vancouver Island we love Thrify's brand and the ones with jalapenos aren't too spicy at all)


Tortilla Shells - for the gluten free use corn or find Gluten Free shells available in frozen section of some places

Taco Seasoning - will share my recipe in another post

Optional Cheese - the little people in our house must have this added to theirs

It really is simple mix the spice with the beans. Then spread the beans in the middle ish section of the tortilla fold, ends in first then roll the rest. Place in a frying pan and heat until the outside of the shell begins to brown, flip and repeat till both sides are crispy brown.

Now for the fixings. In our house a meal that even hints at being mexican can not be eaten with out Guacamole. Again simple to make.

Avocado (we find two feeds the three of us who eat it)
Lemon (juice from one or a little less)
Garlic ( one clove per avo works well)
S&P to taste


Place it all in a bowl and mush with a fork. I hear Avocado is full of the good kind of fat.

Caution

Let me preface this BLOG saying I am know diet expert and none of my recipes will include fat content or really anything of the sort ..

These recipes are simply stuff I cooked to get all red meat and some other meats out of my husbands everyday life.

I might include other ways we dropped Cholesterol

It goes without saying though .. I'm no doctor, dietician, specialist, expert of any sort so this should all be taken with a grain of salt .. in less of course you are looking to reduce the salt in your diet, perhaps then take it with a grain of salt substitute

Dangerously High Cholesterol

.. are the words that stopped my meat eating man in his tracks.

... it was time for a total diet revamp

.. the troubling part is the man loves meat in a really passionate way

.. since I had already eradicated our diet of wheat and nuts it made sense that I would be the one to take on the challenge of also replacing the meat

.. with of course flavorful alternatives that did not leave one feeling deprived

.. below I will share recipes that showcase the slow weaning process
