A Broke Girl’s Bean Binge
Some nights I would honestly offer up my left kidney to not have to cook dinner…when I’m feeling this anti-domestic and my bank account is in the single digits (yes, I’m in my mid twenties and this still happens to me) eating out isn’t an option. Thankfully, for canned food + the microwave, I always have a no-cook/cheap/healthy meal ready to go.
The other night I “made” burritos using Amy’s Organic Refried Beans, a can of Goya Black Beans and brown rice (I’ll spare you with details on how my body reacted to this bean binge). I pre-made the rice in a rice cooker and microwaved the beans (full of cholesterol-lowing fiber and loaded with antioxidants) in separate bowls – added a scoop of all three ingredients to a whole wheat tortilla wrap and tucked together to make a nutritious but also filling vegetarian burrito. Next time I’ll save my pennies and add a protein like tofu or grilled chicken.
