awesome vegetarian burritos

i got a little creative with my staple burrito meal a few weeks ago and thought i should share because most veggie burrito recipes are not very imaginative.

ingredients:
1 can black beans drained and rinsed
1 can dark red kidney beans drained and rinsed
a cup or so of corn (i use frozen (thawed) because i think it tastes better)
mushrooms, about 4-6 oz
spinach, a good amount, more than you would think because it cooks down maybe most of a bunch.
lettuce, enough for each burrito
green onions, use as much as you want
creole seasoning or taco seasoning to taste
cheese, i like tillamook's vintage white extra sharp cheddar
avocado or guac
tapatio or cholula
sour cream
garlic, just a bit for flavor
pine nuts


use a big saute pan, add the spinach, put a lid on it to steam and cook it down, when it starts getting soft, add sliced mushrooms and garlic, a little olive oil if you want. cook until mushrooms get soft. add both kinds of beans and thawed corn. warm, then add creole seasoning. warm tortillas, then put lettuce then cheese as a base, add the bean, spinach, mushroom, and corn mixture to the tortilla, then add as much of the remaining ingredients to the burritos as you want. you might want to get large tortillas, it's a lot to fit on there, but it's really tasty and much better than your standard burrito. hope you enjoy.
