Healthy & Delicious: Calabacitas Burritos

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large or 2 small zucchini, quartered lengthwise and chopped into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 large or 2 small yellow squash, quartered lengthwise and chopped into 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 poblano pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 14.5-oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 4 whole wheat burrito wraps
  • Grated cheddar or cotija cheese

Directions

  1. Heat oil over medium-high and cook onions for 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add zucchini and squash and cook another 4 minutes. Add poblano pepper and cook 8 to 10 more minutes. Add corn and cook until warmed, 2 minutes. Add black beans and cook until heated through and squash is tender enough for your taste, about 2 to 3 minutes.
