Chipotle Bean Burritos

We had these burritos a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed them. Sometimes bean burritos are exactly what we want ... no soy crumbles... no chicken... just beans. This recipe was really good and not bland as some bean burritos can be. Really good with homemade guacamole and chips!

1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced

3 TBS or more refrigerated fresh salsa
6 (10 in.) flour tortillas
1 cup or more shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese

1. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in chipotle chili and salt, stirring constantly. Add water and beans, bring to a boil.

2. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in salsa. partially mash bean mixture with a fork.

3. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 1/3 cup bean mixture into center of tortilla. Top with cheese, tomato, lettuce, green onion and sour cream.
