DIRECTIONS

Homemade Tortillas

1. Combine flour, water and salt in a bowl and knead well. Add more

   water or flour if needed to help make the consistency like that of bread dough.

2. Divide dough into 2 even balls, then roll each ball as flat as you can on a floured surface

   Into the shape of a tortilla.

3. Use a non-stick skillet and heat your stovetop to medium-high heat. Place tortilla in your

   heated pan for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it starts to bubble and turn brown, then

   turn it over.

4. Repeat until all tortillas are done from both sides. Let cool a little before filling.

Filling

1. Mix together the salsa, beans, and green onion and mash slightly with a fork.

   (You don’t need to overdo it-it’s fine when some of the beans keep their texture.)

2. Season the mix with salt, pepper and cayenne to taste.

3. Fill each tortilla with half of the filling. Make sure they’re not to full so you can roll them.

4. Making the burrito: Fold in the sides and roll into tight burritos closed on all sides.

5. Place them seam side down into a no stick frying pan and grill over medium-high heat for

   around 3-5 minutes until brown and crispy.

6. Flip around and grill for another 3-5 minutes. Enjoy with some more salsa, soy yogurt or

   guacamole (eliminate if PP).
