Unchained Recipe Contest - Black Bean Burrito

I love eating at Chipotle and even if I get the burrito without the tortilla all of the extras and the serving sizes of everything packs on a lot of calories. While I love the taste of their rice it is not brown rice, which I prefer to use. I also find it much cheaper to make this at home, rather than buying it. I prefer to make my own salsa rather than buying it in a jar. But of course you can substitute if you prefer. But this one tastes great! It is always a hit at cookouts and with my family. My secret ingredients to the beans are thyme and sage. They add so much flavor. I attended a vegetarian cooking class and the instructor talked about adding those two herbs to everything to give a richer and more satisfying taste. This was the first thing that I tried them in and it is delicious. This recipe is not very difficult to make nor is it time consuming. What will take the most time is the rice, which can be made ahead. I am very much an �add a little of this and that� person, so I did find it hard to pin down measurements!

This is a great, easy and fast meal. For those that are restricting salt intake, we can easily substitute no salt added beans and low-sodium salsa! - 8/27/12

Though it might taste great, half of your daily recommended intake of sodium in a type of condiment just doesn't seem worth it. - 7/8/09

i eat this almost every day now. it's so easy to pre-make so whenever i'm running out the door for work i just grab a tupperware full. or if i can't figure out what i want to eat and i'm starving, it's there waiting :) love this! - 7/5/09

unfortunately the recipe didn't specify that CANNED black beans needed to be used. i found this out after using the dry kind. was very disappointed, but hope to try again after correcting the mistake. - 6/22/09

Just what I needed. Something quick and filling. I'm going to keep cooked brown rice on hand in the fridge. I enjoyed it very much. - 7/26/08

I've done this myself. I usually add a little soy cheese on top, heat it in the microwave and then add the salsa. It's very filling! - 10/2/07

Be sure to use a salsa you find really tasty. The salsa makes or breaks this recipe. - 8/12/13

Loved this recipe! Delicious, quick and filling. I made my bed of brown rice, and added my black beans (after rinsing and draining), a couple of tbsp of Mexicorn, and sprinkle of shredded part skim milk mozzerella, and I topped off with picante sauce (I didn't have any salsa in the house). Yum! - 7/20/11

This was really good - I'll be keeping cooked brown rice on hand from now on. I added some cheese, which was delicious, and I think I'll add some chicken the next time I make it. - 5/27/11

this is one of my favorite go-to meals. try using a sweet potato instead of all/part of the rice...easy way to get another vegetable, and it adds a good flavor with the spicy salsa and black beans! - 1/10/11

I added 1/4 c of shredded Mexican cheese on top of each serving, and was very satisfying. Filling too. - 11/18/10
