Chipotle Black Bean and Veggie Burritos

Chipotle Black Bean and Veggie Burritos
1/2 tsp oil (I used corn)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
1 small carrot, diced
1 small bell pepper, any color, diced
1/2 small zucchini, diced
2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 chipotle pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup corn
1 15-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chile powder
1/2 tsp salt
a few splashes of chipotle hot sauce
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 tortillas
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, throw in the cumin seeds and let them fry for about 10 seconds. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper and saute until the onion begins to brown. Add the zucchini, tomatoes, chipotle, and corn and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or so.
Put in the black beans and spices, including the cilantro and hot sauce, and cook, stirring, for a few minutes - until the beans are heated through, basically. You can mash it up a bit along the way if you like, or leave the beans whole.
Spoon the mixture into the tortillas and wrap 'em up. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10-20 minutes, depending how crispy you want them. Top with whatever and eat.
Makes 4 regular-sized burritos. Larger or smaller tortillas will obviously make less or more, respectively.

(I calculated it as just the filling so that I can count it by itself and then add it whatever tortilla I use separately. It just makes things easier and more accurate, I think.)
Haha! I liked your comment about your mom and her magazine.
Burritos are a favorite of ours. Yours are stuffed with some of our favorite things. Excellent dinner!

I hope you like them! You know, I really don't make enough Mexican food. It's so good, but it just never springs to mind when I'm trying to decide what to have for dinner. Your new pic is awesome as well - love the cigar. ;)
