Corn and black bean burritos

Serves 12

Ingredients

• ¼ cup scallions (green onions), rinsed and sliced into ¼-inch wide circles, including green tops
• ¼ cup celery, rinsed and finely diced
• 1¼ cups frozen yellow corn
• Half of a ripened avocado, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (or substitute 2 teaspoons dried coriander)
• 1 can (15½ ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• ¼ cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup salsa or taco sauce (low sodium)
• 12 whole-wheat tortillas (9-inch diameter)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine scallions, celery and corn in a small saucepan. Add just enough water to cover.
3. Cover, bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes, until vegetables soften. Drain vegetables. Set aside to cool.
4. Combine avocado, cilantro and beans in a large mixing bowl. Add cheese and salsa, and mix.
5. When corn mixture has cooled slightly, add to avocado mixture.
6. In a large nonstick pan over medium heat, warm each tortilla for about 15 seconds on each side. Place each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon 1/3 cup of the mixture into the center of the tortilla. Fold the top and bottom of the tortilla over the filling. Fold in the sides to make a closed packet.
7. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
8. When all tortillas are wrapped, continue heating in the oven 5 minutes, until all are warm and cheese is melted.
