Thank you Cooking Light for these easy weeknight bean burritos.  They promised 30 minutes and they delivered!

chopped tomato
sliced green onions (I used red onion)
light sour cream

warm 6 flour tortillas

Filling:
1 tbl canola oil
1 garlic clove
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder (or 1/2 tsp chili power + 1/8 tsp cayenne)
1/4 tsp salt
1 15 ounce can organic black beans drained
1 15 ounce can organic kidney beans drained
3 tbs refrigerated fresh salsa

heat oil.  add garlic and stir fry 1 minute. stir in chili powder cook 30 seconds.  add water and beans.  bring to boil and then turn down and simmer 10 minutes.  Turn off and stir in salt and salsa.  Partially mash beans.

Serve immediately.  (I cooked the filling too far ahead and it was cool by the time we filled the burritos.)
