Number of Servings: 3

Ingredients

    1.5 C collard greens, chopped, tough ribs removed
    2 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
    15 oz can organic fat-free pinto beans (look for lower sodium brands)
    HALF of a 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with chiles
    1 t ground cumin
    1 t dried oregano
    1 T lime juice
    1/8 t salt (if needed)
    3 T fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Makes 3 servings of 2 burritos per serving. (Filling for 6 small-medium burritos, in total.)

- Put a small amount (about 1") water in a saucepan.
- Add chopped collard greens, garlic, and salt.
- Cover, bring to a boil and cook until tender and bright green (8-10 min)
- Add remaining ingredients (except cilantro).
- Simmer for additional 3-4 min with lid off.
- Remove from heat and add cilantro, if desired.

Serve a small scoop (1/6 of total) in a toasted whole-wheat tortilla.

Try other greens, other beans. Kale takes about as long to cook as collards. Chard (esp. young), or spinach will take less time. Don't overcook!
