Bean Burrito

Hey folks. Here is a quick and nutritous way of making use of left-overs. Most times in our home we usually have anywhere from 2-3 cups of beans left in the crock pot. So I will base my recipe on 3 cups of baked beans. Last evening we prepared yellow-eyed beans for dinner. The baked beans were already seasoned with salt, pepper and onion. It won't be necessary to apply seasoning again but of course this all depends on your taste buds. So lets get started. Here is what you need:

1 tsp of oil
2-3 cups of baked yellow-eyed beans
2 sausages either moose, caribou or pork sausage, sausage should be removed
1/2 cup of cheese
2 crispy slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces
1/2 tsp of chili powder
1/4 tsp of paprika
1/4 tsp of minced garlic
1/4 tsp of onion powder(optional)
salt and pepper for seasonong
3 tbsp of milk for keeping the bean mix moist
6 tortilla wraps

The first thing that needs to be done is cook the sausage. Peel the casings off the sausage and cook the sausage like ground meat. It should be cooked when it is completely browned. Add your beans and stir. As this mix heats up and becomes more pliable add the cheese and bacon pieces. The cheese should start infusing with this mix. From here add your chili powder, paprika, garlic, onion powder along with the salt and pepper.As this continues to cook you may want to add milk. The milk is to keep the bean mix moist. You don't want to make it to runny though. When it is ready distrubute it equally over 6 warps. You may need more wraps or maybe even less. It all depends on how much you apply to each wrap. Now that we have the wraps ready to go, what would be the next step? Well, we can grill the wraps to bring out more flavor. This is what i like to do. If you got a BBQ grill handy or even a cast iron pan. Just apply some heat. Don't forget to put a lite coating of oil in the pan or if you use the grill apply a little bit of oil on the wrap and watch out it cooks real quick. Hope you like this recipe.
