So, a couple of nights ago I had no idea what to make for dinner. There were lots of leftovers in the fridge.... so I figured I would concoct something from that. The first thing that came to mind was burritos after I saw the leftover rice and black beans. Then I saw the remainder of the butternut squash that I had used in the previous two nights' dinners.... In to the burritos it went too.
I find that leftover night can either be hit or miss. It can either be delicious (if I have combined the ingredients properly), or it can be a total disaster... Kyle is often the one to point this out. I don't mind though, it doesn't hurt my feelings. We're fed, and there's more room in the fridge :)
Ingredients
-1 tbsp olive oil
-3 C spinach, chopped
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1 1/2 C cooked rice
-2 heaping Tbsp mild chili powder
-1 1/2 C black beans
-1 C butternut squash, mashed
-2 medium sized tomatoes, diced
-1 avocado
-4 - 6 tortillas wraps
-feta cheese, optional
Heat skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, spinach and garlic. Saute until spinach is wilted.
Stir in rice, chili powder, black beans and butternut squash. Cook until all ingredients are heated through.
Take off heat and add tomatoes.
Heat tortillas in microwave or oven. This makes them easier to wrap.
Take one tortilla, place approximately 1/2 - 3/4 C of rice bean mixture in the middle. Add desired amount of avocado and feta. Roll tortilla up, folding in the sides as you go.
Enjoy!!! xox
