Bean Wrap

We like this recipe. A LOT! Depending on how many people are eating, you may end up with a good portion of leftovers. There are many ways to vary this recipe and I'll add those at the end. Feel free to tweak this as much or as little as you want.

~1 can each of pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans (rinsed & drained)
~1 can diced tomatoes with chilies
~1 cup brown rice
~ground cumin
~ground cayenne pepper

Boil 2 cups water, add the rice, cover and simmer until rice is tender & water has cooked away. Season with cumin & cayenne pepper. Place the beans & tomatoes in a large dish. Mix well. Add the cooked rice and mix again. Assemble a tortilla with lettuce, rice mix & hot sauce. And you're done! Easy peasey!
