  • -remember! olem sambek?)
  • 1 tb Cumin

 Directions

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 it's
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, it's tempting to mix all the non bean ingredients together- but don't
you can really taste the different "layers"
