What I really wanted for dinner was a burrito with ground beef. I miss my Tex-Mex.
But we didn’t have ground beef, and I couldn’t figure out what to make for dinner, so I looked in the pantry. What did I find?
- A can of corn
- A can of black beans
- A whole bunch of spices
I drained the corn, drained and rinsed the beans, threw in some dried chipotle and ancho and cumin, and microwaved it all for three minutes, stirring a few times.
Then I microwaved a tortilla (we always have tortillas), put in a little grated cheddar cheese and the bean and corn mixture and a little more cheddar cheese, and wrapped it all up.
While it would have been nice to have lettuce and tomatoes, it was still delicious. And really, really easy.
And when I put the leftovers into the fridge, I realized that I could just have heated up the last of the mu shu. So tonight I’ve got options.

Awesome!
I felt downright smug!
Way to be creative!
Thanks!
black bean soft tacos! when you just say it that way it sounds all fancy and adult-like.
I need more.
I always seem to make dinner more complicated than it ought to be too. But it sounds like you made a pretty good dinner!
I liked it so much, I made it again!
