black bean burritos

June 4th, 2009

You possibly will not believe it is possible to lose weight while on a diet plan which includes black bean burritos but it is possible. It is fundamental to not eat black bean burritos or other high calorie burritos every day but in moderation.

For instance, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a healthy diet for most of the week, say 1200 to 1600 calories each day, and then on the 7th day, I eat whatever I want – without going crazy of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last 6 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have simply been conscious of what I eat most days of the week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it makes things easier if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have many tools to enable you to monitor your progress and reach your goals.

Black Bean Burritos

You can also use pinto beans in place of black beans, or a mixture of the two.

4 cups black beans or pinto beans (2 16-ounce cans)
1 (4 ounce) jar chopped green chilies
Salt and pepper
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup salsa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat tortillas in microwave per package directions.

Using a mixer, food processor, or potato masher, mash beans, chilies, salt, and pepper to desired consistency.

Spread 1/2 cup salsa in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Spread 2 tablespoons of bean mixture across a tortilla; sprinkle with cheese and salsa. Roll up tortilla, leaving ends open, and place in baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spread remaining salsa over burritos; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
