Burritos baby!

Training: 3.5km run / 300m swim



Wait a sec…..back it up a minute….

Tonight after work I competed in a short aquathon. While these races normally follow a swim then run format (ie. no bike), tonight’s race was backwards.

 

So, we had to complete a 3.5km run first…

 

then dive into the lake for a 300m swim.

     

It was a fairly laid back race, and a lot of fun. It was certainly a strange sensation diving into the water feeling somewhat breathless after the run.



Gotta love that post-swim hair?!

I survived but was STARVING by the time we finished. I had been thinking about dinner since lunch, and knew exactly what I wanted….BURRITOS!

I started by pan frying some onions, garlic and spices. Then added a big amount of mushrooms, corn, tomato, capsicum, a tin of kidney beans and some tomato paste and peri peri sauce.



While the vegies were simmering away, I cooked some brown rice, which was then added to the pan.



After the mix had simmered for a little longer, I stirred through a good handful of fresh baby spinach and coriander.




Then it was simply a matter of topping wraps with the rice/bean mixture, some cheese and a good dollop of natural yoghurt.



Then wrap and enjoy!

  

Oooey goey carb-alicious rice and bean burritos – what more could a girl want on a Thursday night :)



Let’s just say I enjoyed every mouthful of these healthy burritos. Mr BBB even agreed that they are the perfect throw-together meal! I actually don't think he realised that they didn't have any meat in them....

Happy baking :)
